American Psycho

Victoria Theatre
2961 16th Street San Francisco

It slayed in London, it killed on Broadway, and now the musical adaptation of American Psycho brings all the bloody good fun to Victoria Theatre in San Francisco. Based on Bret Easton Ellis' notorious novel, which was later made into a cult film starring Christian Bale, American Psycho takes place in decadent 1980s Manhattan, and follows Patrick Bateman, a slick investment banker with impeccable taste, unquenchable desires and a soft spot for Huey Lewis albums. But at night, Bateman takes part in a darker indulgence. Experience this "brilliant and absorbing musical" (London Evening Standard) featuring a score by Duncan Sheik, the Tony and Grammy Award-winning composer of Spring Awakening.
