As previously reported, American Psycho will soon be cutting out a niche for itself on Broadway, with previews expected to begin in February 2016, ahead of an official opening in March.

Today, Roger Friedman of Showbiz411 reports that BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON star Benjamin Walker, who recently starred in a workshop of the show, will officially lead the cast when the musical makes the move. Walker was joined by GIRLS star Zosia Mamet in the workshops, though there's no word on whether she'll join him on the Great White Way.

Where will this go? I feel like it needs a small house. Could work at the Booth unless Hand to God sticks around.

It's idiotic for any new musical to go up against Hamilton.

Unless it's American Psycho.

...I disagree. Which is why I said what I said.

 The Lyceum might be open.

 And may fit the dark and creepy atmosphere of the show well!

It's funny you say that, GreasedLightning because a friend and I were just talking about how we haven't seen anything light or happy at the Lyceum in a long time.

The Lyceum instantly makes any show dark and spooky. Seeing Patrick Stewart in Macbeth there was a real treat.

Very excited for this show!

So we should just not open any other new musicals for the 2016 season?
