Cast revealed for American Psycho musical in London

Adapted from Bret Easton Ellis’ cult novel, American Psycho tells the story of Wall Street trader and self-possessed serial killer Patrick Bateman, who is living the high life in 1980s Manhattan – buying the most expensive designer clothes, eating at the most exclusive restaurants, partying at the hottest clubs… and indulging in much darker transgressions privately. It has a book by Robert Aguirre-Sacasa and music and lyrics by Duncan Sheik.

It was first seen at the Almeida as Rupert Goold’s first production as artistic director, and will now serve as his final production at the venue early next year (as part of a major season announcement).

Despite being a sell-out, rave-reviewed smash in London (bagging five stars from WhatsOnStage) during its initial 2013 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.

The show will now return, running from 22 January to 14 March 2026.

Set to star are Emily Barber as Evelyn Williams, Daniel Bravo as Paul Owen, Jack Butterworth as Craig McDermott, Hannah Yun Chamberlain as Christine/ensemble, Arty Froushan as Patrick Bateman, Oli Higginson as Timothy Price, Kim Ismay as Mrs Bateman, Alex James-Hatton as Sean Bateman, Liz Kamille as ensemble, Anastasia Martin as Jean, Millie Mayhew as Sabrina/ensemble, Posi Morakinyo as David Van Patten, Joseph Mydell as Detective Kimball, Asha Parker-Wallace as Victoria/ensemble, Tanisha Spring as Courtney Lawrence, Samuel J Weir as swing, and Zheng Xi Yong as Luis Carruthers.

On the creative team are choreographer Lynne Page, set designer Es Devlin, costume designer Katrina Lindsay, lighting designer Jon Clark, sound designer, Dan Moses Schreier, video designer Finn Ross, music supervisor David Shrubsole, musical director Ellen Campbell, casting director Natalie Gallacher for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher Casting.
