Amadeus Revival

Closing: May 14, 2000

Amadeus - 1999 Broadway History , Info & More

Music Box Theatre (Broadway)
239 West 45th St. New York, NY

'Amadeus' is set two hundred and fifty years ago in the count of the Austrian Emperor and details an ongoing confrontation between Antonio Salieri, the mediocre but established court composer and the volatile Mozart. Salieri displays his jealousy and hatred during the course of the play as he attempts to destroy and discredit Mozart.

This classic tale of genius vs. mediocrity is a historical masterpiece and was the winner of both a Tony and Oscar for best play and movie.
