Over the last few years, Oli Higginson has proved himself to be a real force on both stage and screen, starring in major revivals of The Last 5 Years, Measure For Measure and won the Ian Charleson Award for his Cassio in Othello. Now he returns to the world of musical theatre in the Almeida Theatre's revival of American Psycho the Musical, taking on the role of Timothy Price in what will be Rupert Goold's last directing outing at the theatre as Artistic Director. Duncan Sheik and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's adaptation of Bret Easton-Ellis' novel won huge acclaim during its 2012-13 run at the Almeida and is returning at a time that feels more relevant than ever.

In this brand new interview with Oli Higginson, he sits down to share his insights into a career that has taken him from Southwark Playhouse to the West End to the world of Bridgerton. In recent months, we have also seen the emergence of Modern Oli, a musician exploring themes of love, childhood and overcoming challenges. As an actor though, Oli remains committed to giving audiences memorable characters and exploring a range of shows - both classics and contemporary pieces. There's always a rich authenticity to his performances and it looks like he'll continue to be a strong presence on stage in the years to come. As American Psycho prepares to open, audiences can again look forward to his detailed and sensitive acting, but also gorgeous vocals that made him a star to watch out for in the musical theatre world.

American Psycho runs at the Almeida Theatre from 30 January - 14 March.
