**American Psycho**, the musical thriller based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel, and subsequent movie of the same name, recently concluded its sold-out world premiere engagement at the Almeida Theatre.
Featuring a musical score by Sheik, winner of a Tony Award for Spring Awakening in 2007, and a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, **AMERICAN PSYCHO** follows a narcissistic young banker (played by former Time Lord, Matt Smith) who has a murderous, psychopathic alter ego that he hides from his friends and co-workers.
American Psycho is directed by Rupert Goold.
Sheik also confirmed that **Matt Smith** will return to the role in the West End. “He is the biggest sweetheart ever,” Sheik said about Smith. “He did an amazing job. I’m really excited about getting back [to London] and working with Matt again.”
No theatre has yet been announced for American Psycho. We'll keep you posted!
