I want to thank everyone for all their insightful input.
I was thrilled that I choose American Psycho and took my 27 yr old niece as well.
I thought it was fabulous and the perfect choice. Never having seen the movie it was totally new to me. I've seen a good amount of musicals the past few years ( Broadway, out of town previews and tours ) and felt this was totally new & different. It was like nothing else out there. Edgy, Sexy, Funny, a fabulous experience. Definitely Sensory overload! I was on the edge of my seat to hear every word of dialog and lyric. I loved that it felt to me that it was 2016's twist on musical theater. I remember feeling that way seeing Chorus Line and Rent when they first came out. It is not my parents' broadway, and I love that! I was wondering if my niece would enjoy it as much, not having experienced the 80's. Quite the opposite, her fiance is on Wall street and she had seen the movie. She felt her fiance would enjoy AP more than anything else on broadway right now. It is one of the few shows that I probably would NOT bring my 80 yr old Mom, though I know my husband will enjoy it when it comes out on tour.
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie and seeing how it compares. People around me commented that they loved what they did with the material.
I definitely recommend American Psyco and hope to get to NYC again soon and catch at least Shuffle, and Color Purple ( sorry to miss Jennifer Hudson though) this season.
Thanks again to all that responded!!!!
