Why see Back To The Future - The Musical?
Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads
Olivier Award 2022 Winner For Best New Musical!
Great Scott! Back To The Future is on tour and coming to YOU! The hit 80's franchise is the latest movie sensation to receive a Broadway musical adaptation. The production follows Marty McFly and kooky scientist Doc Brown as they travel through space and time, finding themselves in a series of mishaps. Will these two-time travelers ever find their way back home?
Conceived by the film's original creators (Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale), this brand-new musical adaptation is directed by John Rando with a book by Bob Gale and original music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard. Some songs from the franchise's original soundtrack, like "The Power Of Love" and "Johnny B Goode", also.
Back To The Future
Originally released in 1985, Zemeckis and Gale's science-fiction creation became an overnight sensation. Grossing over $381 million worldwide Back To the Future became the highest-grossing film of the year. Due to its success, a further two Back To The Future films were released, Part II in 1989 and Part III in 1990. The beloved movie is still a pop-culture icon with the likes of Secret Cinema and independent picture houses regularly celebrating the '80s classic.

Incredible immersive experience and hilarious!
Waitress at Hanna Theater in Cleveland was phenomenal! The cast was incredibly talented and the acting on point! I connected with each character. I laughed and cried! I didn’t know what to expect, and am so glad I saw the show with my friends tonight! It was a dynamic feel good story with captivating characters. The acting, voices, the emotion and quality of each character was just outstanding! With such great weather, we were able to enjoy downtown after too! ... Read more

No surprise that NY is best!
Saw in NY first with Jason Mraz and loved the
energy. And just about everything. Huge long-
time fan of Sara. Definitely not for kids based
on adult content. Traveling show is great. Just
needed a bit more energy and less southern
accent emphasis while singing. Lead used
speaking through her teeth as a heavy part of
her southern accent. Not totally necessary.
Tempo of music and dialogue were slower in
Dallas. Lost the energy of some great songs
and scenes. Finale was jumbled. Fair Park is a
tough venue. Kinda have to sit on the floor
midway to front to see. Might be better to see
it at AT&T or Bass if it shows there. ... Read more
