Sometimes you just have to take a moment to take in a story and let the disbelief wash away before contemplating a new Broadway project. It certainly seems like producers are searching for anything to adapt with a musical score. It certainly seemed that way with Spider Man Turn Off the Dark, but this latest project may seem a more unlikely quest.

American Psycho, the Bret Eaton-Ellis novel, is being adapted for the musical stage and will have a private reading at a Manhattan workshop. Composer Duncan Sheik and playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa have been working on the adaptation. Names like Benjamin Walker from Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson and Reeve Carney from Spider-Man are participating in the workshop.

At first I took a look at this Playbill article and scoffed, but the combination of blood and satire have worked before. Ever heard of Sweeney Todd? These projects can take years to come to fruition on Broadway, so you best get your Spider Man tickets now to see the work of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Reeve Carney in person in 2011.
