'Queen Charlotte' Actor Sam Clemmett Is Leading an L.A. Production of 'Amadeus'
Sam Clemmett, best known to Netflix audiences for his role as young Brimsley in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, has returned to the stage!
The 32-year-old actor made his Broadway debut playing the role of Albus Potter in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and now he’s tackling the title role in Amadeus for a Los Angeles production.
Sam is starring opposite theatre legend Jefferson Mays in the Pasadena Playhouse production of Amadeus, which is running now through March 15.
Amadeus follows the “riveting rivalry between two composers: Antonio Salieri, the court’s celebrated musician, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the vulgar prodigy whose brilliance threatens everything Salieri holds dear.” The play won the Tony Award for Best Play back in 1981 and was adapted into a movie in 1984, which won eight Oscars including Best Picture.
The Los Angeles Times notes, “Mays and Clemmett are well matched as antagonists, balancing the flamboyant flaws and stubborn humanity of their characters.”
