American Psycho, The Musical
Are we really going to get a musical version of American Psycho? That link is from 2008, so the idea has been out there for a while now.
Now there is new news that the Duncan Sheik has been hired to compose the music, so it appears this idea is moving forward. Here's what Duncan had to say about the idea:
...Sheik said that after re-reading Ellis' novel this summer, "I came to feel that what some people (including myself) may have seen as an over-the-top literary folly of the early nineties was in fact a pretty timeless tale of alienation and solipsism. And, really, what could be more subversive fun than murderous bankers breaking into song?"
So does that mean we are going to get a campy version of the book?
