Bit different but engrossing...
"Even though there are many differences from the movie, it was very enjoyable in its own way. If you haven't watched the movie (who hasn't), some of it may not make complete sense as there more detail in the movie. The effects were fantastic. I wanted to see how they would show the time travel on a theater floor and it was very skillfully done. Kudos to a show very well done! IMHO, the school scenes could be shortened a little, but that's only my opinion. I'm sure others enjoyed them."

Amazingly entertaining for all ages
"My family came to NYC for a holiday getaway. We planned to see Back to the Future as part of our trip. The show did not disappoint even for one of my attendees that doesn’t do musicals and my other adult child whom attends college for lighting design. It was fabulous. "

True to the movie
"Really enjoyed Back To The Future The Musical. For my taste a few too many singing and dancing numbers but it is a musical. Other than that, the performance was a magical experience. We had 3 adults and 2 teens in our party and we all had such a wonderful experience. You will not be disappointed with the storyline as it stays true to the movie. The actors were exceptional and the special effects top notch."

So much fun!
"I loved the special effects, the car was amazing. Loved Marty and George so much, the singing was so good too. Some of the songs were a little cheesy such as the one with the professor and the girls with the lights on their heads. Overall, excellent, both my daughter and I had a wonderful time. I loved the songs at the end with the band."

Nostalgic show with quality performances
"I wasn’t sure when I bought these tickets but I thought my kids would enjoy. But it was a blast! Such quality performances, especially singing and incredible dancing. My children who had never seen the movie were clapping and cheering for the characters, and they hit several memorable lines or moments from the film which was fun for the adults. Not boring for a second. "
