⭐ AMERICAN PSYCHO – THE MUSICAL – LONDON REVIVAL ANNOUNCED – ALMEIDA THEATRE – JANUARY 2026 ⭐
A London revival of the stage musical adaptation of AMERICAN PSYCHO has been announced.
Almeida artistic director Rupert Goold revives his critically-acclaimed musical, from the composer of Spring Awakening. The musical was first seen at the Almeida as Goold’s first production as artistic director, and will now serve as his final production at the venue early next year.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory.
Patrick Bateman has it all – looks, money, style and status. Engaged to the beautiful Evelyn Williams, he is about to win the prestigious Fischer account for his investment bank and celebrate by dining at Dorsia. But there’s another side to his life that Patrick keeps secret. And people – including those closest to him – keep disappearing…
Despite being a sell-out, rave-reviewed smash in London during its initial spell, the show subsequently transferred to Broadway with less fanfare, closing after 27 previews and 54 performances. The London cast recording has gained a cult following in the last decade.
AMERICAN PSYCHO – THE MUSICAL has a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, music & lyrics by Duncan Sheik. Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis.
AMERICAN PSYCHO – THE MUSICAL will play the Almeida Theatre, running from 24th January – 14th March 2026, with tickets going on sale later this year.
Now THIS is exciting… How unexpected! ! !
