American Psycho Musical London Returns to Almeida Theatre with Full Cast Revealed


The cult hit American Psycho musical London revival is set to return to the Almeida Theatre, running from 22 January to 14 March 2026. Following its critically acclaimed 2013 debut, the production will mark the final show under Rupert Goold’s tenure as Almeida Artistic Director.


Based on Bret Easton Ellis’ infamous novel, American Psycho follows Wall Street trader Patrick Bateman, a man living the high life in 1980s Manhattan, indulging in designer clothes, exclusive restaurants, and glamorous parties—while hiding darker transgressions behind closed doors. The musical features a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and music and lyrics by Duncan Sheik.


Star-Studded Cast Announced for American Psycho Musical London

The production will star Arty Froushan (Daredevil: Born Again, The Line of Beauty) in the lead role of Patrick Bateman. Other notable cast members include:

  • Emily Barber (Operation Mincemeat) as Evelyn Williams

  • Tanisha Spring (A Christmas Carol, Moulin Rouge!)

  • Daniel Bravo (Mean Girls, Cruel Intentions) as Paul Owen

Casting is by Natalie Gallacher for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher Casting.


Why You Can’t Miss American Psycho Musical London

The 2013 Almeida production was a sell-out, five-star hit, and although its Broadway transfer was short-lived, the London cast recording has since gained a cult following. Theatre fans can expect a stylish, thrilling, and darkly humorous experience, with an unforgettable score by Duncan Sheik and the sharp book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.


The American Psycho musical London revival promises to be a highlight of the 2026 theatre season, perfect for fans of edgy musicals, cult novels, and daring stage productions.


American Psycho runs at the Almeida Theatre from 22 January to 14 March 2026. Book your tickets here.
