Saw the Back to The Future the Musical tonight at the Sydney Lyric Theatre and was blown away by the performances and special effects. I am a huge fan of the show and have always secretely hoped for a pt 4- this musical was close. The actors have done a great job bringing their own interpretation to the characters, especially doc. The delorean and special effects team made the dhow so fun. I think the only downside is there were a couple of songs that felt a little out of place. All and all 5/5 would see again

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.

From the moment you walked in it was awesome digital noise and a huge projection up on the screen, my 10-year-old son is so excited. The props and the way they were able to turn the stage from scene to scene was absolutely incredible 10 out of 10.

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.
