NEW YORK (AP) — The musical based on the novel “American Psycho” is hoping to slay audiences on Broadway.

Producers said Thursday that the show based on Bret Easton Ellis’s novel will find a home in a yet-unnamed Shubert theater this winter, with previews starting Feb. 19. Benjamin Walker will play the psycho Patrick Bateman.

The book for the stage version was written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Duncan Sheik penned music and lyrics for more than a dozen original songs. It centers on a yuppie serial killer who is obsessed with high-end clothes and beauty products even as he slashes his way through Manhattan.
