For reals.
From a piece in the New York Post...
Move over, Sweeney Todd -- another singing psycho is nearing his Broadway debut.
The tale of Patrick Bateman -- a fictional Wall Street banker obsessed with designer clothes, Phil Collins, rape and murder -- is going to drench the Great White Way in blood in "American Psycho: The Musical," producers of the show told The Post.
"Think about Malcolm McDowell singing songs during 'A Clockwork Orange.' He sang 'Singing in the Rain,' " said Duncan Sheik, the new show's composer, comparing his musical to a brutal attack scene in the 1971 film.
The musical has been in development since 2008, when producers David Johnson, Jesse Singer, Nate Bolotin and Aaron Ray bought the rights to adapt the 1991 Bret Easton Ellis novel, which was made into a 2000 film starring Christian Bale.
