Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL at The Paramount Theatre

Dear Readers, buckle up! Not because we’re about to go 88 mph but because I’m about to be a musical theater snob. The trend of turning popular (or even not so popular) movies into big splashy Broadway musicals is not a new one. And when it works such as with the likes of “Legally Blonde”, “Waitress”, or “Some Like It Hot”, it can be glorious. But for every one of those, you also get the likes of “Pretty Woman”, “Dirty Dancing”, or God forbid “Flashdance”. Shows that were better left on the silver screen. One such show is “Back to the Future: The Musical”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. And even if they could have gotten the car running (we’ll get to that in a minute) the show is still a travesty.

Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL at Hollywood Pantages

Is there some sort of formula for roping in both fans of a hit movie and stage hounds, to catch lightning in a new medium? Judging by what the musical's book writer Bob Gale, director John Rando and the musical team must have been thinking, the answer is you slavishly remake the movie on stage.

Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL - 1ST NATIONAL TOUR at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis

Back to the Future: The Musical first national tour made a stop in Minneapolis at the Orpheum Theatre, running until September 22, 2024. This musical is based on the classic 80s film where Marty McFly is transported back to the 1950s by the eccentric scientist, Doc Brown.

Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL National Tour

= BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL is a fun and faithful adaptation of the 1985 film — but it’s overly long and generically scored. With music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard (Silvestri composed the film’s original score) and book by Bob Gale, the musical has a typical pop Broadway score — with some 1950s flare when protagonist Marty McFly travels back in time to 1955.
