Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Saenger Theatre

Recalling and revisiting the iconic '50s and '80s, Back To The Future was a fan favorite when it was was shown in movie theaters. The story, albeit future-looking during its release, was able to cover the contrasting 1980s and then-past lifestyles while still maintaining its sci-fi trope and incorporating components of innovative technological advancements.

The timeless story empowered the creators, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, to not only springboard from the '85 film and stretch it into a three-part series of movies, but also significantly widen the reach of this beloved story to another kind of viewership – theater audiences. The suggestion for a theater revamp was brought up to Robert Zemeckis in '05, and after extensive development, Gale and Zemeckis were eventually ready to show The musical version of Back To The Future after more than a decade.

As one of the most technology-reliant new plays in current global stage, the show had the prerogative to make modifications that would appeal to its younger audience and make the most out of the available technology, that during the production period of Back To The Future was not invented yet. As a live adaptation, it has better pacing in its story beats and is a lot more emotional because of the musical visibly more organic in the actual physical sense. With actual cast members, scenes, and real viewer reactions, the liveliness in each sold-out show is invariably the most genuine it would be. The tone of the show is also tweaked to a small degree; because the musical is showing in current times, the show tends to focus more on looking towards what comes next instead of remembering the past.

The limited production of Back To The Future's stage adaptation in Louisiana also looks toward the next level of theater, having Saenger Theatre in New Orleans as the show's chosen venue to host the show. Saenger Theatre is one of the leading in New Orleans with a large platform and seating capacity, enabling it to welcome a large host of fans in each and every production.
