A fantastic musical production!
"Back to the Future, the musical, was an awesome show! The actors and actresses were so into their roles, and gave it their all, they all were so great! The effects used were impressive as well! It was very interesting to see a musical take on the classic movie, and that was executed very well! "

Brought my 10 year old grandson
"We made sure my grandson watched the original Back to the Future so he would know what was happening. The live performance was fabulous and of course the lighting and sound was amazing. Yes, the car flies."

Just like the movie
"I bought tickets for my husband for Christmas because it’s one of his favorite movies and the musical did not disappoint. We both loved the show and immediately said we would see it again when it ended. We were captivated the entire time and listened to the soundtrack all the way home after the show. The characters were just as phenomenal as the movie. Definitely a top 5 musical in my book. 11/10 would recommend! Worth every penny!"

Brilliantly funny, surprisingly moving ... so much fun!
"Laugh out loud funny. Sharp. Quick. Great music. Performances out of this world. You cheer out loud for Marty and his family and Doc is a scene stealer. "

Fantastic show as a revival of old 1985 movie…
"We’d love music, interpretation and settings… incredible dress and outfits of the ‘50s. You can appreciate even if you’re a foreign language speaking. "

Funnier than the movie!
"It's certainly amazing what they could pull off on stage that one would only expect the effects possible in a movie. Doc Brown was comical and more entertaining than the movie!"

Spectacular show
"The Broadway show captivated me not only with its excellent music and spectacular technical effects, but also with the faithfully recreated DeLorean, which, thanks to advanced stage solutions, “flies” and travels in time. Dynamic changes in the scenography and perfectly synchronized lights transport the audience directly to the 80s and the distant future."

Great show fabulous and enthusiastic cast.
"I enjoyed this familiar story but it had a special newness that brought you back to today’s lifestyle. The cast each brought to life the characters they portray and the songs, dance routines had the buzz you expect from the Wintergarden Broadway Show!"

Taking you back in time
"The first song made me think it was not going to do the movie justice but the show just got better and better and better. I almost cried at the end. The cast was perfectly picked. All the main characters played their role so well it brought the movie from the screen to real life. It was so good and the songs were good as well. There was so much comedic relief between Doc and Marty McFly, it was a joy to watch them. "

What a wonderful show!
"Absolutely loved this show so much. The original movie is an all time favourite of ours, and the musical managed to honour so many tiny iconic moments from the film. So impressed with the level of attention to detail, and the absolute talent of all the characters, unbelievable skills and stage presence. What an absolute incredible experience!!!"
