Dynamic, fun and funny
"The entire cast was at their best on Dec 22nd! What a fun play. Critics miss the point that this musical is fun and funny and leaves the audience feeling satisfied and uplifted. Would recommend this play to anyone. One of the most cheerfully wonderful musicals I have seen in years!!"

Been Years Since I Enjoyed A Play This Much
"I took my two grandsons, age 8 & 10 and they were totally captivated with it from the time we walked into the theater to the end of the play. The special effects, the sound system, the lighting, even the music and dancing was great. What I liked best was that the entire cast, which is rather small, honestly seemed to be having a good time. Beyond that, judging from their curtain call behaviors, I got the impression that they actually like each other."

Low expectations prove wrong!
"I liked everything about the show. The performers and pit band were outstanding. In most cases the casting was excellent. Doc had to grow on me but his talent made him great. There are no words to describe how amazing the technology and staging were. I’ve never seen anything at that level staged anywhere. "

Fantastic & Entertaining
"This is such a fun, vibrant broadway show! Enjoyed every minute of it. As a fan of the movie, I wasn't sure how I would like it but I was very impressed. The actors have a great chemistry with each other and the audience. Everyone was engaging and energetic, from the stage to the audience...exactly how a Broadway show should be. Can't believe this show is closing in January in NYC! Hope it returns soon, but I'll try to catch it on its road performances. I'll be "Back to the Future" again!"

Wonderful and playful
"What a great play. The plot followed the movie fairly closely, with a few adjustments for the stage. The actors and musicians were amazing. There was an understudy who filled in for Doc and you would never know he was the understudy. His acting was phenomenal. I would highly recommend taking the whole family to this Broadway show. It's time and money well spent. Bravo cast and crew!"

Great Musical
"I had the pleasure of seeing the musical "Back to the Future" and it was mega. The performers captivated the audience from the first minute with their impressive voices and acting talent. The choreography was dynamic and creative, and the sets were stunning - they captured the atmosphere perfectly. And you really were transported back to the future. Just as we knew it from the movies. However, there were some small deviations from the movie, but the performance was more than successful and humorous. I can only warmly recommend "Back to the Future" - it's an experience not to be missed!"
