for those who have never seen the play or/or movie Amadeus (and the
play is substantially different from the movie in many ways) here is
some information from Wikepedia. The role of Mozart will be a very
diffferent part for Randy:
Amadeus is the title of both a stage play and an Academy Award
winning film written in 1979 by Peter Shaffer, both loosely based on
the lives of the composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio
Salieri. Amadeus was inspired by Mozart and Salieri, a short play by
Aleksandr Pushkin (later adapted into an opera by Nikolay Rimsky-
Korsakov).
The title refers to a name that Mozart often used (he was baptized as
Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart) as a pen name. It
is a Latinization of the Greek Theophilos, which Mozart sometimes
also Germanized as "Gottlieb." All three names mean "God-lover"
or "Loved by God" and, aside from being a direct reference to Mozart,
the title serves as an ironic reference to Salieri's relationship
with God in the play and film
The play, and to a much larger extent the film, make use of Mozart's
music (as well as that of a few other composers, including Salieri).

Randy as Mozart - His first scene in the play
I picked a copy of Amadeus this afternoon at Barnes and Noble.
Anyone interested in reading the play should purchase the 2001
Perennial(an Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers) edition, which is
the most current, - the final of six versions (which includes the
screenplay) which Shaffer wrote over 20 years, culminating in the
1998-99 Broadway revival. The play is indeed very different than the
movie.
Here is the first scene where Mozart appears. This play is the
opportunity for a tour de force performance by Randy. The part calls
for him to deliver of number of lines in "expert" Italian and French
and to portray Mozart doing an "exhibitionistic" virtuoso performance
on a pianoforte.
Act One, Scene 5
CONSTANZE: [OFF] Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
{CONSTANZE runs on from upstage, a pretty girl in her early twenties,
full of high spirits. At this second, she is pretending to be a
mouse. She runs across the stage in her gay party dress, squeaking,
and hides under the fortepiano.
Suddenly a small, pallid, large-eyed young man of 25, in a showy set
of clothes runs in after her and freezes -center-as a cat would
freeze, hunting a mouse. This is WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART. As we get
to know him through his next scenes, we discover several things about
him: he is an extremely restless man, his voice, light and high; his
manner, excitable and volatile.]
MOZART: Miaouw!
CONSTANZE: [Betraying where she is] Squeak!
MOZART: Miaouw!?Miaouw!?Miaouw!
[The composer drops on all fours and, wrinkling his face, begins
spitting and stalking his prey. The mouse - giggling with excitement -
breaks her cover and dashes across the floor. The cat pursues.
Almost at the chair where Salieri sits concealed, the mouse turns at
bay. The cat stalks her -nearer and nearer- in his knee breaches and
elaborate coat.]
"I'm going to pounce-bounce! I'm going to scrunch munch! I'm going to
chew-poo my little mouse-wouse! I'm going to tear her to bits with my
paws-claws!
CONSTANZE: No!
MOZART: Paws-claws - paws-claws - paws-claws! Ohh!
[He falls on her: she screams.]
I'm going to bite you in half with my fanfg-wangs! My little Stanzerl-
wnzerl-banzer!
[She laughs delightedly, lying prone beneath him.]
You're trembling!匢 think you're frightened of puss-wuss!匢 think
you're scared to death! [Intimately] I think you're going to shit
yourself!
[She squeals but is not really shocked. He emits a little baby-ish
giggle.]
In a moment it's going to be on the floor!
CONSTANZE: Ssssh! Someone'll hear you!
[He imitates the noise of a fart.]
Stop it, Wolferl! Ssh!
MOZART: Here it comes now! I can hear it coming!匫h, what a
melancholy note! Something's dropping from your boat!
[Another fart noise, slower. CONSTANZE shrieks with amusement.]
CONSTANZE: Stop it now! It's stupid. Really stupid!
MOZART: Hey - hey- what's "Trazom"?
CONSTANZE: What?
MOZART: T-r-a-z-o-m. What's it mean?
CONSTANZE: How should I know?
MOZART: It's Mozart spelled backwards - shit-wit! If you married me
you'd be Constanze Tranzom.
CONSTANZE: No, I wouldn't.
MOZART: Yes, you would. Because I'd want everything backwards once I
was married. I'd want to lick my wife's arse instead of he face.
CONSTANZE: You're not going to lick anything at this rate. Your
father's never going to give his consent to us.
[The sense of fun deserts him instantly]
MOZART: And who cares about his consent?
CONSTANZE: You do. You care very much. You wouldn't do it without it.
MOZART: Wouldn't I?
CONSTANZE: No you wouldn't. Because you're too scared of him. I know
what he says about me "If you marry that dreadful girl, you'll end up
lying on straw with beggars for children".
MOZART [Impulsively} Marry me!
CONSTANZE: Don't be silly
MOZART: Marry me!
CONSTANZE: Are you serious?
MOZART [Defiantly} Yes!匒nswer me this minute: yes or no! Say yes
then I can go home, shit in bed and shout, "I DID it!"
[He rolls on top of her delightedly. The MAJORDOMO of the house
stalks in, upstage.]
MAJORDOMO: [Imperviously} Her Ladyship is ready to commence.
MOZART: Ah匶es! Good! [He picks himself up embarrassed, and helps
CONSTANZE to rise. With an attempt at dignity] Come, my dear. The
music waits!
CONSTANZE: [Suppressing giggles] Oh, by all means- Herr Trazom!
