The final production in Goold’s final season as artistic director of the Almeida Theatre, the stage musical adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ controversial 1991 best-seller will return to the London venue from 24 January until 14 March 2026 – over a decade after its world premiere at the start of Goold’s tenure as artistic director.

Featuring music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening) and a book by playwright, screenwriter and comic book writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Pretty Little Liars), the original production was directed by Goold and starred former Dr Who, Matt Smith as serial-killing banker Patrick Bateman. Goold also took charge of the musical’s Broadway debut run at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre which starred Benjamin Walker as Bateman. Walker previously played Bateman in the 2011 New York workshop of the musical.
