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

We all really enjoyed the show it was top quality the stagecraft excellent and also the music verse and acting excellent, we all got a lot of fun out of the experience. We could not get better in the West End London.

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

This was the most entertaining and fun filled musical that I have watched in years. It's a credit to the cast and crew, with amazing performances and fantastic props and effects. Came away thoroughly uplifted.

From entry into The Lyric, the team were helpful and attentive directing us in the venue and with how to get refreshments and merchandise before the show. Then what a show, having seen the play in London I was blown away by th performance. The setting and spacing the theatre played to the amazing sound and extraordinary lighting effects. The cast was simply sublime, just when you thought wow, it just keep getting better. Would really recommend getting in to see the show, one of the best experiences in Sydney.

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
