‘Amadeus’: God Works In Strange Ways.
PicksInSix® Review | Ed Tracy

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (David Darrow), the impetuous, child prodigy of Peter Shaffer’s brilliant play “Amadeus,” bestowed with a supernatural ability to visualize music far more complex than his contemporaries, is undermined by an envious and influential Vienna court rival Antonio Salieri (Ian Barford) who recognizes the youthful threat and prays to God that he himself would be blessed with that same celestial talent. Salieri’s punishment, in the scintillating Robert Falls directed Steppenwolf production that opened Sunday, is to live a very public 30-year long career of mediocrity, cursed all the while by the now long deceased Mozart’s flourishing legacy and immortality.
