Broadway and West End musical Back to the Future has set some international productions! A Germany staging will open in the 2025–2026 season, with details to be announced. The show is also headed to Royal Caribbean's new cruise ship Star of the Seas in a 100-minute condensed iteration. That staging will debut along with the ship when it disembarks from Port Canaveral in Orlando, Florida, in August 2025.
Based on the 1985 Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment film about teenager Marty McFly—who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by Dr. Emmett Brown—the musical has a book by Bob Gale, and new music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, with additional songs from the film, including “The Power of Love” and “Johnny B. Goode.”
Tony winner John Rando directs. The production also features set and costume design by Tim Hatley, lighting design by Tim Lutkin and Hugh Vanstone, sound design by Gareth Owen, video design by Finn Ross, choreography by Chris Bailey, musical supervision and arrangements by Nick Finlow, illusions by Chris Fisher, orchestrations by Ethan Popp and Bryan Crook, dance arrangements by David Chase, and casting by Tara Rubin. Bespoke Theatricals serves as general manager.
Back to the Future: The Musical made its world premiere at the Manchester Opera House in March 2020. The West End production opened in London September 13, 2021, at the Adelphi Theatre (where it continues) and subsequently won the Best New Musical Olivier Award. The musical crossed the bond for a Broadway debut at the Winter Garden Theatre in August 2023, which also continues. The musical is also currently playing a North American national tour, and will open a Tokyo production in 2025.
