Welcome to Hill Valley!Set your destination time, New York and get ready to ​g​o back in time with Marty McFly. Since its Broadway debut in August 2023, Back to the Future: The Musical has ​b​rought nostalgic charm, jaw-dropping effects, and electrifying energy.​ to the Winter Garden Theatre. Based on the beloved 1985 film, this musical adaptation is a time-traveling thrill ride that combines humor, heart, and unforgettable songs into a​ high-voltage theatrical experience.

What’s the show about? Teenager Marty McFly finds himself accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time machine built by the eccentric Doc Brown. Stranded in the past, Marty must make sure his parents fall in love or risk erasing his own future—while finding a way to return to 1985. Packed with humor, adventure, and just the right amount of sci-fi, Back to the Future stays true to the spirit of the original movie while adding new twists for the stage.



The musical features a high-energy score that combines fan-favorite hits from the film, like “The Power of Love” and “Johnny B. Goode,” with new songs by Emmy and Grammy winners Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard. Directed by Tony Award winner John Rando, the production is a visual and technical ​treat, boasting spectacular special effects—including a flying DeLorean—that leave audiences awestruck.



After its initial success in London’s West End, where it won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, Back to the Future arrived on Broadway​, led by Casey Likes as Marty McFly and Tony winner Roger Bart as Doc Brown​. Beyond Broadway, Back to the Future is quickly becoming a global sensation, with international productions and a North American tour in development.



Now’s your chance to hop into the time machine and experience Back to the Future: The Musical live on stage. Whether you’re an ’80s movie buff or just looking for an unforgettable night of theater, this show will leave you saying, “Great Scott!” Don’t wait—get your tickets before they disappear into the past!

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Back to the Future: The Musical

REVIEW: ‘Back to the Future: The Musical’ Makes the Past Sing
8 / 10

The show is lavish and, as directed by John Rando (Urinetown, Mr. Saturday Night), never slows down, at times coming off like something that might belong at Madison Square Garden. The whole thing is basically a big, flashy, speeding car, but it’s apt for today’s Broadway, since it combines a familiar title, a sampling of hit songs, and some slick special effects, while vaguely touching on the fantasy of changing eras in order to work things out and patch things up.

BACK TO THE FUTURE: A SENSORY ASSAULT, WITH SONGS
2 / 10

Then there are shows like Back to the Future: The Musical, whose title is something of a misnomer: This adaptation of the Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment hit about a teenager who finds himself bounced back from 1985 to 1955 is less a musical than a two-and-a-half-hour theme park ride with songs, offering as much sensory overload as an afternoon at Magic Kingdom. Indeed, the warnings that can accompany splashily high-tech productions, to pregnant women and theatergoers prone to migraines and seizures, should have been emblazoned on the playbill cover in this case. Strobe lights and other visual shenanigans, from Finn Ross’s dizzying video design to a flying car, are just the beginning; for me, the auditory assaults leveled by sound designer Gareth Owen (in conjunction with musical supervisor Nick Finlow and music director Ted Arthur, I assume) hit the hardest. Before the first act was even half over, I had crafted makeshift earplugs out of tissue paper, a trick I typically reserve for the loudest rock concerts.
