Why see Back To The Future - The Musical?
Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads
Olivier Award 2022 Winner For Best New Musical!
Great Scott! Back To The Future is on tour and coming to YOU! The hit 80's franchise is the latest movie sensation to receive a Broadway musical adaptation. The production follows Marty McFly and kooky scientist Doc Brown as they travel through space and time, finding themselves in a series of mishaps. Will these two-time travelers ever find their way back home?
Conceived by the film's original creators (Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale), this brand-new musical adaptation is directed by John Rando with a book by Bob Gale and original music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard. Some songs from the franchise's original soundtrack, like "The Power Of Love" and "Johnny B Goode", also.
Back To The Future
Originally released in 1985, Zemeckis and Gale's science-fiction creation became an overnight sensation. Grossing over $381 million worldwide Back To the Future became the highest-grossing film of the year. Due to its success, a further two Back To The Future films were released, Part II in 1989 and Part III in 1990. The beloved movie is still a pop-culture icon with the likes of Secret Cinema and independent picture houses regularly celebrating the '80s classic.

Can't Wait To See This Again!
This Tony nominated musical (up against Hamilton)
showcases what Sara Bareilles does best - fantastic sing
along melodies and lyrics that tell a story with poetry,
humor, melancholy, and love. I was fortunate enough
to see this with Sara B. in the role of Jenna but she
wrote incredible songs for each cast member. Every
song got a standing ovation during the show, which
made the show run three hours, but it was one of the
highlights of theatre for me and my son (right up there
with seeing the original Broadway cast of Into The
Woods with Sondheim and Lapine in conversation and
Hamilton) Can't wait to see this again!

Soooo delicious!
Four of us saw Waitress this past Friday at Bass Hall in Ft. Worth. Bass Hall is
wonderful & WE LOVED THE SHOW!! The entire ensemble was amazing & perfectly
on point. The voices of the lead women melded & matched perfectly. Every singer
was AMAZING!! We thought the setting & choreography were excellent. Everyone
delivered a lovely, nuanced performance. It is enjoyable for ages 12 & up. We would
DEFINITELY recommend this show!
The ONLY criticism we all had (as well as others in the audience) was that the gain
was up too high on the mics & the band overpowered the singers consistently. We
probably missed more than half the lyrics to the songs, which was regrettable.
Other than that, we loved ALL of the performance!! We decided we would definitely
love to see this cast perform Waitress again soon!! ... Read more

Excellent
Saw this show in New York Twice. I've seen just about every Broadway show and this is one of the top 5. If only Christopher Fitzgerald could have a permanent role as "Ogie." He is HYSTERICAL. Laugh out loud hysterical. But all of the cast were wonderful. I want to see it again. ... Read more
