Jefferson Mays Will Star in Amadeus at Pasadena Playhouse

Does this mean the rumored Michael Arden version is off?

What stood out to me about the announcement is that it moved from the Fall to early in 2026, playing through to March 8.  This means that Brigadoon won't likely open until maybe April.  I was hoping to see that when I go down to Akhnaten at LA Opera mid-March.  But I will be able to see Here Lies Love at Mark Taper Forum.

As for Amadeus,  I don't think a production at Passdena Playhouse precludes there bring another production elsewhere.   Their production of La Cage didn't stop Encores from programming a different production. 

Sometimes LA is like Las Vegas... what happens in LA stays in LA.
