By day, Patrick Bateman is a perfectly groomed Wall Street investment banker obsessed with business cards, designer suits, and the finest restaurant reservations. By night, or perhaps only in his imagination, he is a serial killer of escalating depravity. Duncan Sheik's darkly satirical musical adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel turns Reagan-era materialism and male vanity into a blood-soaked, synth-driven horror show about the emptiness at the heart of the American Dream.
