What is Back to the Future The Musical about?

Based on one of the most beloved science-fiction movies of the 80’s, Back to the Future The Musical tells the time traveling tale of Marty McFly.

When Marty McFly finds himself transported back to 1955 in a time machine built by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown, he accidentally changes the course of history. Now he’s in a race against time to fix the present, escape the past and send himself… back to the future.

The success of the Back to the Future films made stars Michael J Fox (Marty McFly) and Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) into household names. Now with their full support, the Academy Award-winning movie comes to the stage at the Adelphi Theatre for the first time.
