Court composer Antonio Salieri chases fame while questioning his God: Why is he, devout Salieri, condemned to mediocrity while a foul-mouthed wild child, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is blessed with genius? Consumed by jealousy, Salieri devises a scheme to bring down his rival. Amadeus is a Tony Award-winning story of music, myth, and madness.

A preshow talk is offered in the West Lobby 30 minutes prior to curtain.
