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.

THE mucial to see in 2023!
Saw the Matinee performance Thursday July 21st 2022 14:30 hours - This musical blew me away!! I am sad to see it leaving London, as it was only a 2.5 hours train ride down there, but at least I get a chance to see it once more before it leaves.
If you like the movie - this is a bucket list for you! No argument! You must see it.
If you havent seen the movie or not over fussed about it, you will still LOVE this. The acting is excellent, really funny moments. The orcherstra were amazing, the songs are well done and well performed, the sets are epic and the whole thing is just the best family wholesome fun show to watch.
I left the theatre in a total high and it really is deserving of all the praise and attention it's getting.
It's been in London for awhile now, still selling out their shows and standing ovations...
It's made me feel like watching the movies again!!
