Funny thing is, i screwed up, we thought we were seeing a show at the opera house, we just chose your show because it matched our travel schedule, we live in Key West and were on an aussie vandango. once the initial embarrassment was over, and we settle in at the Lyric, we were absolutely blown away by the adaption from screen to stage. the delorian! wow...kudos to the set director and his staff. just wow. great show, Doc was the star, but the whole cast nailed each character. 5 stars ain't enough. webb dillard keywestvibes.com

That nostaligia in this was amazing, faithful enough to the movie to get the inner child in me bouncing and with enough new to be enthralling. The musical numbers were all great, with the pop songs having me signing along. Doc really shines, bringing the best comedy I introduced my Chinese girlfriend to the franchise through this musical. She's in love, more musicals and re-watching the movie. A Great time was had

We saw this production in London and were blown away by the Australian cast. An amazing afternoon in an awesome venue at the Star in Sydney. If you go to Sydney, find an excuse to see a show at the Lyric in the Star complex. We caught a ferry there - no Breyer way than going to the theatre than by journeying through the harbour. A winning afternoon in every way. Can't wait to see you again, Sydney.
    • Adapted by the creators of the blockbuster film starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, this sci‑fi comedy musical appeals to families and fans alike.

    • Expect a score by Alan Silvestri & Glen Ballard alongside songs from the original film, including 'The Power of Love', plus cinematic set pieces, pyrotechnics and strobe lighting.

    • A limited‑run Australian premiere ; Sydney Lyric Theater will host this high‑demand musical directed by Tony Award-winner John Rando (Urinetown), balancing chaos and charm with Broadway-caliber precision Down Under.

    • Starring Tony Award-winner Roger Bart (The Producers), who originated the iconic role of Doc Brown on the West End and Broadway, and rising star Axel Duffy as Marty McFly.

    Back To The Future was an amazing theatrical production - especially the way the scenes with the car were done - and the ending with the vehicle floating above audience then turning 360 degrees with Marty and Doc in it was such a WOW factor
