Back to the Future – The Musical at London’s Adelphi Theatre is a thrilling fusion of heart, humour, and spectacle. Hill Valley is recreated with meticulous detail, and the performances of Marty McFly and Doc Brown are electric and full of life. The DeLorean’s flight is perfectly timed, thrilling without ever overshadowing the story. The score drives the narrative relentlessly, while choreography and effects serve the drama, not the applause. Every element works in harmony to make time travel tangible and exciting. One of the finest — if not the finest — musical productions I have ever seen.

As a huge Back to the Future fan, I came especially from far away to see this amazing spectacle! The special effects were amazing, me and my daughter were baffled about how everything looked and felt, like you were in the movie!! The visual experience was so spectacular, we are already thinking about coming again! The cast was great and the music as well. To see the Delorian in such a close reach, was a boys dream come true. Thank you for a memory for life, for me and my daughter! It truly was amazing!!

This was my first ever musical experience, and I was blown away. Back To the Future was a childhood memory for me and my sister, so getting to see it with her after all these years was truly special. The visual effects and stunts were absolutely amazing. In particular, the scene where the car drove and travelled back to the past; and at the end, where the car flew into the air and slightly into the audience! Made me forget that I was in a theatre! Ten out of ten experience.

It’s big, fast, funny and full of heart. The DeLorean moments are mind-blowing stage magic, but what really got me was how joyful and generous the whole show feels. The cast has razor-sharp comic timing, the choreography never stops moving, and the storytelling is so clear you can just sit back and enjoy the ride. I walked out grinning like a kid – pure feel-good theatre.

Compared to many other West End musicals, I'm afraid I have to deduct one star here, as this musical doesn't quite create the same atmosphere as the others. It's modern, it's different. But it's also not quite as perfect as the competition. Sometimes it's difficult to hear the songs clearly at the top, as the acoustics aren't quite perfect.

From the cult 1985 film that launched Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd into pop culture history, this London musical is a thrill ride for families and fans alike.

Winner of the Olivier award for Best New Musical 2022, the production has music by Alan Silvestri (Avengers: Endgame, Cast Away) and Glen Ballard (Man in the Mirror, Jagged Little Pill).

Expect iconic songs like "The Power of Love" and "Johnny B. Goode", spectacular staging, jaw-dropping pyrotechnics and a time-traveling DeLorean that bring the story to life on stage.

Playing at the Adelphi Theatre and directed by John Rando (Urinetown), this electrifying musical keeps audiences grinning at 88mph. Book tickets to Back to the Future musical in London now!

The story

Marty McFly is just a regular 1980s teenager, until Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean accidentally hurls him back to 1955. Stuck in the past, Marty meets his teenage parents, risks unraveling his own future, and turns to Doc to fix the timeline before it’s too late. Will he make it back to 1985, or will history be rewritten forever?
