This is a great play, and I loved it on Broadway. Loved the movie, too. But this wonderfully cast production is the best of the three. Robert Cuccioli's performance as Salieri was searing. He deserved the standing ovation he got, the first one I've seen in this theater.

Thank you Robert Cuccioli, Jordan Coughtry, Tricia Paoluccio, Mark H. Dold , Joe Discher and the entire cast and crew for an incredible, awesome evening. It doesn't get better than this. Five stars just isn't enough!

My husband and I have been subscribers for over 25 years and we rate this show as one of the best we have ever seen including Broadway. Congratulations to the director, the two leads who were great and ALL of the rest of cast on an absolutely PERFECT production!

Robert Cuccioli has delivered perhaps the defining performance of his career with a rendering of Salieri so powerful yet nuanced that it overshadows the McKellen and Abraham interpretations (which I saw) and may very well compete with that of the great Paul Scofield (which I did not). This production was perfectly cast and performed, achieving a level of excellence unusual for even this fine theatrical company. And of course no Salieri can succeed on stage without a worthy antagonist, and Jordan Coughtry's Mozart ably provided that vital counterpoint. In short, outstanding theater.
