About the show
Sit down, strap yourself in and let the Delorean take you back to the 80s, then to the 50s, then back to the 80s again in this rocking new musical based on the timeless hit film. With a creative team loaded with award-winning talent, Back to the Future the Musical is set to be a wild ride when it transfers to the West End's Adelphi Theatre after its world premiere at the Opera House, Manchester.
The film, starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, needs no introduction. It has delighted entire families since it first hit the screen in 1985. Marty McFly teams up with the brilliant but eccentric Doc Brown to test a time-travelling Delorean that transports Marty back to 1955. Stuck in the past, Marty accidentally prevents his high-school-aged parents from meeting, threatening his very existence. With the clock ticking, he must make sure they get together, while working with a younger Doc Brown to fix the Delorean so he can travel back to the future.
This musical adaptation features a book by Bob Gale, co-writer of the film. Music and lyrics are provided by Emmy and Grammy Award-winner, Alan Silvestri and six-time Grammy Award-winner, Glen Ballard. Classic tunes from the film will also feature, such as The Power of Love and Johnny B. Goode.
Casting for the London transfer is yet to be announced. The Manchester cast includes Tony Award-winner Roger Bart (You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown) as Doc Brown, Olly Dobson (Bat Out of Hell) as Marty, screen actor and comedian Hugh Coles as George McFly and Rosanna Hyland (Urinetown) as Lorraine Baines.
One of the biggest hit movies of the 80s is now set to be a West End smash. Back to the Future the Musical opens at the Adelphi Theatre on 14 May 2021.
Please note that the show includes flashing lights, strobe effects, smoke and pyrotechnics throughout.
