Based on Bret Easton Ellis’s provocative 1991 novel of the same name, this Duncan Sheik and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa musical follows protagonist Patrick Bateman, a suave young Wall Street banker. By day, Patrick enjoys the finer things with his elite friends, but as night falls, his taste for darker pleasures threatens to uproot his ‘normal’ facade.
“The costumes did a good job expressing the world of the co-operate 80s, most of the cast in businessware for the majority of the show.”
“Elizabeth Morton’s costume design had all the necessary trappings of the 80s power suits, softened by silk chemises and neutral colors.”
“The costume design by Elizabeth Morton utilized a muted business-attire palette, primarily black, white, and gray, mirroring the set’s sterility and allowing the red of Patrick’s tie and his bloody horrors to pop. Although restrained in color, the costumes were vibrantly 1980s in style: shoulder pads, poofy sleeves, baggy suits, and countless skirts delightfully flooded the stage.”
