Tony Award-winning songwriter Duncan Sheik and playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will collaborate on a new stage musical based on Bret Easton Ellis' gruesome novel "American Psycho," about a charming Wall Street banker who is also a serial killer.
News of the musical first surfaced in 2008; the Johnson-Roessler Co., the Collective and XYZ Films announced the writers of the project on Feb. 2.
Sheik, who wrote music to the Tony Award-winning "Spring Awakening," will write music and lyrics. Aguirre-Sacasa, a prolific regional and Off Broadway playwright currently working on HBO's "Big Love," will write the libretto.
