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.

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.

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?

Overall great acting, singing and the use of multimedia. The special effects were very impressive. The actors were so talented - they had amazing voices and moves. There were comedy scenes, as well as suspension ones. I honestly loved every second of it.
