What the critics said

Notable Critics

"[Forman's] is a genuine adaptation, not only because the play is permitted to stretch its legs beyond the pop-up book confines of a proscenium arch, but because he has leavened its High Art pretensions with a dash of showbiz raciness."

— Gilbert Adair

"On a production level and as an evocation of a time and place, Amadeus is loaded with pleasures."

— Todd McCarthy
