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’ Is Perfect for the Movie’s Fans
8 / 10

Sometimes a Broadway show just does what it needs to do, going big on songs, silliness, corn, and heart. And together those things work, even while some things frustratingly don’t work around them. The leviathan kicks into life, the audience jumps on and rides shotgun. Through the barrage of special effects, jokes, dramatic set-pieces, the stage-filling dancing and singing of the unsung heroes of the company—through all of it—the audience is visibly and audibly locked in, seduced, happy. And so, sure, Back to the Future: The Musical—at two hours forty minutes, first staged in London’s West End—is overlong (almost an hour longer than the 1985 movie it is based on) and its female characters and its straining to say something about civil rights under-drawn and underdeveloped. But the show (Winter Garden Theatre, booking to Feb 25, 2024) is also an amiably rollicking reanimation of a much-loved movie classic, and in no mood to address its flaws, which seem—ironically, given its preoccupation with time travel—stuck in another era.

‘Back To The Future: The Musical’ Broadway Review: Johnny B. Goode Enough
5 / 10

Still, nothing on stage here measures up to the screen version, except the obvious: The live special effects, most notably a final sequence in which 1955 Doc climbs to the top of that clock tower during a lightning storm, with Marty speeding the DeLorean through town. The lighting and video projections that have so far provided some amusement come to fruition here, and Back To The Future: The Musical finally and fully justifies its transition from screen to stage. A coda, which will bring to mind a certain Phantom chandelier or maybe a Saigon helicopter, can’t help but seem a tad anti-climactic.
