Amadeus in London
Multi-award-winning Welsh actor Michael Sheen stars alongside BAFTA Cymru winner Callum Howells in a major new revival of Peter Shaffer’s seminal play, Amadeus, in the West End in 2027.

Secure your tickets for the strictly limited run at the Noel Coward Theatre, located a short walk from Leicester Square, today.
What Is the Play Amadeus About?
Set in Vienna in 1820, the story follows Antonio Salieri, a respected composer who has everything – status, success, and the certainty that he has earned them. That is, until he meets musical prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who is vulgar and childish but an extraordinary talent. Fuelled by envy, Salieri believes God chose the wrong man, and his dangerous obsession threatens to consume them both. Amadeus shares an electrifying story of ambition, faith, and the unbearable cost of greatness.
The History of Amadeus
Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus was first staged at the National Theatre in 1979, with Peter Hall directing and starring Paul Scofield and Felicity Kendal. A subsequent production at His Majesty’s Theatre in the West End followed, as well as a run on Broadway in 1980. The Broadway production, which starred Ian McKellen, was nominated for seven Tony Awards and won five, including Best Play.
Amadeus has been staged worldwide since its last staging at the National Theatre in 2017. That production was directed by Michael Longhurst and received rave reviews from critics. This latest revival of Amadeus premieres at the New Theatre Cardiff before transferring to the West End.
