The whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. Booking with Headout using the app was very easy to do, from selecting seats to making the payment. Once that was done, all bookings made show up in your booking page and one click then brings the tickets up in electric form to be scanned at the venue. As for the show, it was absolutely fantastic. Thinking of going to see it again it was that good. My only criticism was that I thought there would be more room in the seating, but then again, the venue wasn't as big as I thought it was going to be, but it in no way really affected the overall experience.

It was absolutely amazing. It was the perfect mixture of comedy, romance and drama. They recreated the movie perfectly. Even my boyfriend who doesn't like musicals at all said that it was phenomenal. It is easy to follow even if your english isn't too good. The actors where absolutely brilliant and we really liked all the special effects. You should most definitely check this out. We are thinking about coming back to London just to see this musical again.

What a great show! I had never imagined "Back to the Future" as a musical and after the show, it just seems like it was born for this musical version! Great voices, great dance troupe, original sets and really engaging special effects! I was in seat M18 at the Dress Circle and I must say it is a great place to see the stage all the way down. The heads in front of me at most could cover the feet of the actors in the front row. Great experience!

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?
