All the lead rolls were excellent, marty, doc, george and his wife, biff!!. The cast were also Excellent! Sorry I don't know the names. Doc , you could tell was a well seasoned actor and portrayed the role quite well with a fair amount of comic relief and some sincere drama. I love the big chorus numbers. Did not disappoint in the music and singing department. I would go and see it again if I were to stay here longer. I couldn't tell if marty was actually playing guitar but if not he sure did an excellent job faking it! I love the theater, kudos to all those putting forth the effort to bring us live entertainment, best Regards from the U.S.

An extraordinary show, with set changes, special effects and a live symphony orchestra, synthesizer and electric guitar. We had a blast. The actors were top notch, the dances, the increasingly impressive tableaux with all the refs from the film (a few modifications to fit in a Theatre). Even if you don't understand much English, you'll have a great time. Thank you to all the artists, actors, dancers, musicians, technicians and theatre staff for this experience. Go and see this show !!!!!!

The show for the most part stayed on script with the movie with some liberated on the story line that did not take away from the story. Enjoyed the small comedic interaction with the audience. It was done it a subtle way that brought the audience into the show vs. expecting the audience to interact. How the theater was able to change the set between sets gracefully was really intriguing. The rail system that is put in place is very helpful in making this happen. Would reccomend others to go and enjoy a wonderful production.

From the cult 1985 film that launched Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd into pop culture history, this London musical is a thrill ride for families and fans alike.

Winner of the Olivier award for Best New Musical 2022, the production has music by Alan Silvestri (Avengers: Endgame, Cast Away) and Glen Ballard (Man in the Mirror, Jagged Little Pill).

Expect iconic songs like "The Power of Love" and "Johnny B. Goode", spectacular staging, jaw-dropping pyrotechnics and a time-traveling DeLorean that bring the story to life on stage.

Playing at the Adelphi Theatre and directed by John Rando (Urinetown), this electrifying musical keeps audiences grinning at 88mph. Book tickets to Back to the Future musical in London now!

The story

Marty McFly is just a regular 1980s teenager, until Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean accidentally hurls him back to 1955. Stuck in the past, Marty meets his teenage parents, risks unraveling his own future, and turns to Doc to fix the timeline before it’s too late. Will he make it back to 1985, or will history be rewritten forever?

We're a French family who enjoyed this musical without being bilingual, and we came away enchanted as rarely! And yet, we do a lot of shows in France. It was fabulous, exceptional, and that's putting it mildly. Needless to say, we recommend this show. Note: we were at the very top of the balcony and the show was perfect!

I went to see the musical with my family, 4 weeks ago I went to see the musical with a colleague! Because I raved about it so much at home, I had to fly from Switzerland to England to see the musical. It was amazing again! The performers were great! I would see it three more times!

The produceion was fantastic. Staying reasonably true to the film version, the set was suberb and the actors were very similar in character, voice and mannerisms . Worth a second attendance for sure.
