EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Michael Sheen and Callum Scott Howells will strike up the orchestra — and each other — in a new West End-bound production of Peter Shaffer’s acclaimed play Amadeus, about the disharmony between music prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, his rival composer at the Habsburg court of Joseph II, the Holy Roman Emperor.
The thrilling drama will be directed by Jeremy Herrin, who staged, with Duncan Macmillan the current Broadway hit Every Brilliant Thing, starring Daniel Radcliffe in a role that Mariska Hargitay will take over from May 26.
“With Michael Sheen — who is an absolute master of stage acting, he really is one of the greatest — I think it’s good moment, and he’ll be challenged by young Callum. … It’ll be wonderful to see the fireworks. I can’t wait,” Herrin said in an exclusive interview with Deadline.
