The Murderous Banker Musical

Surprisingly, the dark tale of a serial-killing investment banker was transformed into an upbeat stage musical. The production features a pop-rock score to underscore the bizarre emptiness of eighties materialism.

While most stage adaptations lean into drama, this musical uses catchy songs to highlight Patrick Bateman’s obsession with high-end brands and corporate status. The contrast between the pop music style and the gruesome murders makes the satire even more unsettling. It captures the frantic energy of Wall Street excess by turning a cold-blooded killer into a singing protagonist. This unique approach forces the audience to confront the absurdity of the character's vanity.
