Coughtry, Paoluccio and Dold Will Join Cuccioli in NJ Amadeus
By Kenneth Jones
14 May 2008
Complete casting has been announced for the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's new production of Peter Shaffer's Amadeus, starring previously announced Tony Award nominee Robert Cuccioli as Salieri.
The Madison, NJ, company visits the world of Mozart and his friends, benefactors, lovers and rivals May 28-June 22. Opening is May 31.
Cuccioli, a NJ Shakespeare veteran, was Tony-nominated for the title roles in the musical Jekyll & Hyde. Recently Off-Broadway, he starred in the revue Jacques Brel…
The Amadeus cast, directed by associate artistic director Joe Discher, will also include Jordan Coughtry as the young Mozart; Tricia Paoluccio as Constanze, Mozart's wife; Mark H. Dold as Joseph II, the Emperor of Austria; Robert Hock, Greg Jackson, Darren Kelly, John Little, Colin McPhillamy, Patrick Toon, Tom Robenolt, Jon Barker, Robyn Berg, Christopher J. Payseur and Mary Trotter.
According to Shakespeare Theatre of NJ, Amadeus, a London, Broadway and movie hit, "is an intriguing, fictionalized account of the mysterious relationship between the great celebrated young Mozart, and his contemporary Salieri. While Salieri considers the great composer a genius, he believes he is flawed beyond redemption by his crude and juvenile demeanor. Driven by zeal and ravaged with jealously, Salieri plots to silence the great composer and destroy his character and reputation."
Creating the world of Amadeus are set designer Richard Block, lighting designer Mathew Adelson, costume designer Maggie Dick and sound designer Richard M. Dionne. Christine Whalen is production stage manager.
Performances are Tuesday-Sundays at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre in Madison.
