Australia’s theatre scene will get a shot of adrenaline with the musical revival of American Psycho – The Musical soon to tour Melbourne and Brisbane, following a sell-out season in Melbourne last year.
Playing at Melbourne’s Chapel Off Chapel from 29 October 2026 and Brisbane’s Powerhouse Theatre from 5 February 2027, American Psycho – The Musical pulls no punches in its critique of capitalism, consumerism and excess.
The show dives into the mind of Patrick Bateman: a young, wealthy investment banker with a taste for designer suits by day, and something far more sinister by night. Set in the money-obsessed Manhattan of the late 1980s, American Psycho – The Musical is a blood-soaked thrill ride through greed, privilege and moral decay, soundtracked by a slick score and iconic hits from Phil Collins, Tears for Fears, New Order and Huey Lewis and the News.
American Psycho – The Musical will see the return of Conor Beaumont to the lead role of Patrick Bateman, following his critically acclaimed performance in 2025.
He’ll be accompanied by a powerhouse cast of local talent including Mia Dabkowski-Chandler as Evelyn Williams, Alexandra Cashmere as Evelyn Williams Alternate, Montana Sharp as Jean, Harley Dasey as Paul Owen, Jake Ameduri as Tim Price and Patrick Bateman Cover, Meg Williams as Courtney Lawrence, Jordan Twigg as Mrs Bateman, Aaron Robuck as Luis Carruthers, Dan Ham as Craig McDermott and Associate Choreographer, Elaina Bianchi as Vanden and Dance Captain and Lauchlan Mant as David Van Patten, with Nelana Ferguson and Bash Nelson rounding out the cast as Swings.
This production will be directed by Mark Taylor, with music and lyrics by Grammy and Tony Award winner Duncan Sheik, and a book by Riverdale’s Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
Director Mark Taylor says, “We can’t wait to bring American Psycho back to Australia this year. Our 2025 premiere defied all our expectations, with people coming from all corners of the country to witness the production. We’re so excited to again be staging this spectacle of a show, and sharing it with Queensland audien
