"My family and I absolutely loved this show! I wasn't exactly sure how this would play out from screen to stage, but I was so very pleasantly surprised on all aspects. Like all great performances, it gives you a range of emotions. I was surprised at how much humor it provided, I haven't laughed out loud that much in a long time! I would highly recommend this show to anyone, but especially to anyone who is a fan of the movie. Go see it, you will not be disappointed!!"

"Since I hadn’t seen a musical in decades, it took a little for me to get into it, however the excitement and reactions of the crowd, the talent of the cast and the effects had me sold in no time. By the end I joined the cheers, clapping, standing up and dancing. Such an incredible ending, touches of humour and effects. Actors were wonderful and I kept telling ppl to go see it. Thank you!"

"I loved all of it. I’m 43 and it was my first play. Took my wife and 13 year old son. They both loved it. One of my favorite movies and they didn’t only do it justice, but exceeded my expectations!!"

"Well - that was a blast. We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday by finishing off the big day with a showing of 'Back to the Future' on Broadway. With our 12 1/2 year old son in tow we weren't too sure what to expect, but boy oh boy were we blown away. We all thought it was quite clever how they stuck to the original plot of the movie, while also making some clever, yet subtle changes that didn't deter from the overall feel of the original movie. The cast were terrific, with the two leads being the obvious standouts. As a Star Wars fan (along with our son) we appreciated the nod to James Earl Jones (who only passed away the day before) with the lightsaber duel added to the night's performance. It was so good that we were even going to try to see if there were tickets the following night, but alas we ran out of time. I would certainly see this show again. We hope to return to New York in coming years - so if the show is still going we will be back. We look forward to hopefully seeing the show come to Australia in the new future (pardon the pun) so that we can enjoy it all over again. Bravo! The best bit? Has to be the ending with Doc and Marty in the car - I won't say much more than that - don't want to spoil it for others. All I can say - is book your tickets now!"

"I bought tickets for our 41st wedding anniversary for my husband. Huge fan. He was skeptical. I asked him at intermission what he thought…he said good. I said good? It’s great. Well, I don’t want to be a spoiler but at the end, wow….. of course then I said to him, what do you think now? He absolutely loved it as did I. The cast was amazing. I even think there was some adlibbing at one point by Doc Brown, which made it funnier since “Marty” was hysterical. Standing ovation by entire audience. Would highly recommend. "

"I loved the movies so I decided to see the Musical. Although I am not the biggest fan of musicals, this one catched me really! The actors did their performance very good and I loved the set of the scenes. Also the singing was great. But it was good either to know the story beforehand because my English is not the best."

"With its engaging storyline, catchy music, and vibrant performances, this show offers both fans of the original movie and new audiences a memorable experience. One of the musical's standout features is its nostalgic factor. Fans of the film will appreciate the clever references and callbacks to iconic moments from the film. This sense of nostalgia is skillfully woven throughout the production, creating a warm familiarity that resonates deeply with viewers. The score is another highlight, featuring a mix of original songs and reimagined classics ("Power of Love"). It's easy to find yourself humming along, as the songs seamlessly integrate with the narrative, enhancing the emotional beats of the story. The performances are nothing short of spectacular. The cast brings an infectious energy to their roles, showcasing their vocal, dancing, and acting talents. Whether it's the comedic timing of Marty or the eccentricity of Doc Brown, each character is brought to life with authenticity and flair. The chemistry among the cast members elevates the overall experience, making every scene enjoyable. One of the most memorable aspects of the experience was the fan engagement after the show. The cast took the time to interact with audience members (like my daughter), taking photos and sharing stories, which created a wonderful sense of community. It was heartwarming to see how much the performers appreciated the fans, making the experience feel personal and inclusive. Whether you're a longtime fan of the franchise or experiencing it for the first time, this musical is a must-see!"

"I thought the comedy bits were terrific, better than in the movie. The cinematic pieces were thrilling, not film, not theatre, but something that it was more than the sum of the parts. the actors were great. Doc Brown funnier than in the movie. the music is just ok, frankly, but not bad. Won't buy the record. But will see it for a second time. A phenomenal transposition to theatre."

"I didn't know what to expect, but it was definitely one of the most beautiful Broadway shows I've ever seen. The atmosphere, music, and special effects are exceptional, and the acting is flawless. The character of Biff is something unique. I smiled from the beginning to the end of the show. I recommend it to everyone, especially those who loved the saga. If you have the chance, I think the front center rows are the best to fully enjoy the fourth wall-breaking effect that characterizes some of the iconic scenes."

"I loved this movie growing up and probably watched it 20 times or so. They stuck pretty close to the movie with adding a few modern jokes / twists. As not a typical musical person I really enjoyed the show. The actor who played Doc Brown was especially fantastic."

"The show was amazing. The actors put a lot of respect and love into their work. My 4 year old son loved it, the lights, sounds the car flying in the air was just awesome. The staff was great as well. They gave my son some stickers for being his first time to a show to stick in his playbill. My boy sat through the show and enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely recommend to children. Back To The Future was 2 👍🏼 up!!! "

"I'm really not into musicals. There are very few exceptions. Now "Back To The Future" is one of them. To be honest, I liked the songs most that were in the movie as well (which I saw in cinema as a school girl). But this show is a blast. The ensemble is a blast. And this is so much fun it will probably make you feel like a school girl again (gender open). At last, this is what it felt like to me."
