Bale!

Brett Easton Ellis' most famously depraved novel, American Psycho, is heading to the stage. The book and subsequent film prominently feature monologues about 80s Reagan-era bands, which will play a large part in the musical production's development.
Though taking a gamble on theater, producers Craig Roessler and Johnson-Roessler have high hopes that a satirical look at murder on Wall Street will strike a gallows-humor chord with the ex-Lehman brother crowd.
Below, one scene from the film version of AP that will definitely be a highlight of the dance numbers:

I just want to go on record as saying I hate musicals. No artistic merit whatsoever. I just hate the idea of people bursting into song for no reason, about shit no one would ever sing about.
Alice: I agree. Im sure there's a place for people like us. somewhere a place for us. peace and quiet and open air– wait for us…somewhere.
Ahem, sorry.
Alice I totally agree. Also whenever I mention that I hate musicals everyone always brings up GREASE…yes it is a musical and yes I do hate it.
In this economy, no one can afford the tickets.
The music is always dreadful. It's like the muzak version of real music. I just don't understand. It's kinda like nascar, the concept of god and velveeta, I just don't get it.
I would pay to see the musical version of Moby Dick.
i love musicals. i think they are fun. my favorite? Ragtime.
However this shouldnt be a musical. I wonder will he just shove the kitten in the atm, or will he sing about it.
You have to suspend a LOT of good taste to enjoy a musical, but I can do it.
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Really? Because that is a SWEET musical. But I'm biasedly (yeah, it's a word) in love with Dolly Parton.
I suspend good taste everytime I eat at a Krystal/White Castle. That's all I can do. I have to save my taste suspension for that activity. For the record, totally worth it.
I love musicals. I love the movie American Psycho. The two combined, however… well, I think it's going to be a repeat of when they tried the same thing with Carrie.
The book American Psycho was awful, I have no idea how they managed to make an entertaining movie out of it. Same goes for Less Than Zero. The guy is not a good writer at all.
I just hate how in some musicals the sing-talk, those are the worse.
i love Fame– You got big dreams? You want fame? Well right here is where you start paying. IN SWEAT.
you don't fuck with debbie allen, yo.
Lily- that was well done.
Oh dammit Alice now I need a Krystal and it's like a 30 minute drive to the only one that hasn't been shut down. I guess I'll have to fill my poor tummy with left over margaritas yet again.
I kind of like musicals–I liked "Mary Poppins" and all that when I was a kid–but you know what I couldn't stand? "Rent". That sing-talking thing they did the whole time, coupled with the fact that every person I knew in high school was fucking IN LOVE with that play, made me hate it with a fiery passion.
Kitchy, I must be in the minority. I thought the book was excellent, didn't care for the movie all that much.
What's a Krystal?

For thsoe who throw up upon hearing Summer Nights (me) you can go to 3:39 and 3:40 to see all of John Travolta's sex appeal dissipate, leaving behind no trace or shadow.
Em, a Krystal is like a White Castle. Little burgers, big evil.
If you sometimes feel ashamed for enjoying anything from Taco Bell, Krystal has the potential to pretty much destroy your self esteem.
My favorite musical is TEAM AMERICA!
Does anyone remember the rumor that 2pac wasn't dead and was working at Krystal?
haha no but now that i think of it, isn't this him in a commercial? :)

Ahhh, gotcha, Alice. We've only got White Castles around here. For me, big evil = Steak n Shake.
nevermind I just googled Tupac and Krystal and I guess I made that up.
Steak n Shake doesn't even compare to White Castle or Krystal. I mean, we're talking about fast food joints that have redefined flatulence and diarrhea.
Hahaha, good point, Alice. Or, as my boyfriend says, "There's a reason they're called sliders."
