Tom Cruise Could Appear In The AMERICAN PSYCHO Musical. Yes, Musical.
You probably read about it a couple of years ago and thought it had fallen aside, but the American Psycho musical is still going forward. Full steam ahead, in fact, with Act I scripted and the rest of the show written by next year. In an effort to drum up some interest (and maybe funding), the writer and composer of the show talked to the New York Post about their plans.
I wonder why the show even needs a composer, to be honest - just do it like Rock of Ages, the show that tells a story using 80s hair metal. Hand pick the kinds of bad 80s music Patrick Bateman liked and use those as the show’s songs.
[Bateman] bumps into “Tom Cruise” in the elevator of the Upper West Side building where they both live. Bateman refers to Cruise’s film “Cocktail” as “Bartender.” Cruise corrects him and points out that his nose is bleeding.
