To give some context, he wrote the film “Shakespeare In Love” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. His genius in writing is equal to that of Stephen Sondheim in musical theatre.

Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL at Hollywood Pantages
by Evan Henerson - Nov 12, 2024
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.

It’s interesting to consider that ballet began its development in the mid 16th century, however it wasn't until around 400 years later that BIPOC (American) dancers Maria Tallchief, Raven Wilkinson and Arthur Mitchell, first joined ballet companies.
