Adapting this iconic story for the stage are the movie’s creators Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis. As well as original music by multi-Grammy Award winners Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, the show features timeless songs from the movie including The Power of Love, Johnny B Goode, and Back in Time.
Directed by Tony® Award-winning director John Rando, the arrival of this plutonium-powered production means one thing’s for sure: musical theatre will never be the same again!
Based on one of the most beloved movies of the 80’s, BACK TO THE FUTURE THE MUSICAL tells the story of Marty McFly; a regular teenager living in small town America. Skateboards. Rock’n’Roll. High school sweethearts.
Slightly more unusual is that his best friend is eccentric scientist, Doctor Emmet Brown.
When Doc Brown invents a time machine inside a modified DeLorean, Marty’s world get turned upside down. After accidentally changing the course of history, Marty has to to fix the present, escape the past and send himself… back to the future!
The success of the Back to the Future film series has made stars Michael J Fox, who played Marty McFly, and Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc Brown into household names. Now with their full support, the Academy Award winning movie comes to the stage at the Adelphi Theatre for the first time.
