Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Saenger Theatre

Let's address the elephant in the room! This is a story line that you probably already know. That's potentially the main reason why you're coming to the Saenger Theatre. What makes it worthwhile to watch a play when you've essentially seen the end from the beginning? It's a rhetorical question because the answer is everything that happens in the middle! One of the best elements about Back To The Future - Theatrical Production is that it does stay very true to the film. At the same time, in every adaptation of this play on Broadway on the West End or in the US Tour, the performers have been given plenty of liberties to put their style on the characters. While some of the dialogue was taken directly from the film, you're not going to see Roger Bart, who's played Doc Brown on Broadway and The West End, try to copy Christopher Lloyd. The same thing goes for Marty McFly and Michael J. Fox.

You could say it's obviously different because this is a musical, and the actors who are giving life to these characters in the theater have to sing. While there's some truth to this, it's still safe to say that one of the ingredients to the success of the story as a musical is that it has taken up its own "soul." That's something that everyone in the audience is going to be thankful for because what's going to be happening on stage isn't just a re-make of the movie. What's taking place is similar to the way that a play like The Lion King has been able to distance itself from the kids film. In Back to the Future, the songs are truly maximized in the musical in a manner that the film will always fall short of.
