"Growing up in the 80s, i was excited to see this and it did not disappoint. The graphics and stage transitions were amazing and they really captured the film perfectly. They nailed it when it came to construction of the car/time machine. "

"From the moment the play began it was an adventure. The understudy for Doc was absolutely fantastic and hysterical. He blended in so well with the lead actor who played Marty. Actually I won’t discriminate everyone in this musical was fantastic. By the way this was the second time that I have seen it. And I can’t wait and hope to get back to see it another time. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves to laugh, loves music, loves adventure, and loves special effects. Enjoy!"

"I'd heard from my friend who was a theatre critic that it was a kid's show. Of course, I'm a 75-year-old kid so I loved it. If you saw the original movie, you won't be disappointed. Some clever contemporary lines that are funny, but the finale is absolutely impossibly incredible stagecraft. The car stole the ending, but the cast is terrific, and the Chuck Berry duck walk on Johnny B. Goode by Marty will make you grin."

"The show was wonderful. The actors handled their parts so well you didn't miss the original stars in the movie. The transision from one place to another did not distract from the show. It was well done and I would definitely recommend it. My husbad does not do plays. It was a miracle that we got him to agree to come. At the end his comment was "Now I can say I have seen a Broadway Play, and I absolutely loved it." "

"The actors all did a very good job portraying their character, especially Goerge Mcfly. The theatrics were pretty good. Wish they would have stayed more in tune with the original mall scene but with todays society I understand why they would leave it out. Definitely recommend seeing this show if you enjoyed the movie. They did an awesome job."

"Grand moment pour ma part! Plein les yeux et plein les oreilles! J’étais curieux de voir ce que pouvait donner ce blockbuster des années 80 en comédie musicale et j’en suis sorti bluffé! Bon, par contre, pour ma copine qui comprend assez mal l’anglais il aurait fallu le sous-titrage… un peu l’image sans le son… mais un bon moment quand même. Une jolie pause bien peps dans l’ambiance saturée de Broadway! Je recommande vivement!!! "

"I loved this show! I had a big smile plastered on my face the whole time. The story followed the original movie but the music added so much, as it was catchy and fun. All of the actors were outstanding, even though some were replacements the night we saw it. The technology used in the show was just out of this world! "
