Back to The Future the Musical

The 1985 movie of the same name proved a monster hit, as did the sequels. The stage musical, based on the original movie, won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, four WhatsOnStage Awards including Best New Musical, and the Broadway World Award for Best New Musical. The London and Manchester productions have been seen by millions and the show has broken box office records at its long-time home, the Adelphi Theatre. The original cast album, released by Sony, has been streamed more than 3 million times.

Marty McFly accidentally ends up in 1955 thanks to his eccentric inventor friend’s time-travelling DeLorean car. He can’t go back to his own time, 1985, until he makes his high school-age parents fall in love, otherwise he’ll cease to exist. The musical is packed with great tunes you’ll remember, some from the 1980s charts and others from the movie. With Ben Joyce playing Marty McFly, loved for his role as Frankie Valli in West End Musical Jersey Boys, it’s a popular choice.

A must see show
It was amazing
Terry, 01 Sep 2025
I went tk see this show about 2months ago with a friend, I said before the show finished, that my 2 8yr old boys would like this show, by the end, I changed my words to, "my 2 8yr old boys would live this shiw.
MMatty McCourt (poet & author) A few months ago I visited this show with a friend, we both lived this show. I thought to myself my two 8yr old sins would love this show. Today I took my two 8yr old sons to the matinee show.... AND THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT... 👏👏👏
Matthew, 31 Aug 2025
Amazing
Wonderful trip to London, loved the show, really completed our trip.
Jackie, 31 Aug 2025

A fantastic show for any age. Music, songs and dancing were great. The special effects were fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and definitely recommend it.
Jennifer, 30 Aug 2025
EFFETTI SPECIALI
fantastica trasposizione dal film originale con qualche piccolo aggiustamento. Fantastici gli effetti speciali anche considerando il palco molto piccolo gli autori sono stati fantastici. Musiche travolgenti, il tempo scorre velocemente
MICHELE, 30 Aug 2025
A must see
Absolutely epic
Paul, 30 Aug 2025
Such energy

Michael, 25 Aug 2025
Fantastic show!
The show w great however ur seated area was restricted viewing.
Diljit, 23 Aug 2025
Some funny moments and some good singers.
On the whole I wouldn't recommend this show, I love musicals and I love back to the future and the actors were good but the musical numbers weren't great and the storyline changes from the film weren't good.
Liam, 23 Aug 2025
BTTF
Show was amazing and would recommend to everyone but if you are sitting in the dress circle take a jumper it was so cold in there, the air conditioner was right above our head and my hand and nose were so cold. Luckily there were some spare seat so they moved us in the interval nearer the front of the dress circle, still cold but this time on our backs.
Amanda, 22 Aug 2025
Brilliant
As a fan of the movies, i wasn't sure if I'd like this.... I've now seen it twice, 3 years ago, and again today, absolutely love it. Took my 6yr old this time, he loved it too. And Brian Connelly as the Doc, 10 out of 10 :-D
Francesca, 21 Aug 2025
A fantastic experience!
We (family with 2 kids, 11 and 14) decided to visit the musical during our trip to London and did not regret it. It was a fantastic experience and great show being made out of a great film. The music was great and particularly the light effects made us feel being part of the time journey ourselves!
Anja, 21 Aug 2025
Great night out
You really need to go see this show it was excellent. Everything about it was top class. Book it, you really won’t be disappointed
Janeen, 18 Aug 2025

Anja, 18 Aug 2025

The cast was absolutely fantastic! Marty and Dic were first rate and all the other members were energetic s as be exceptional. An absolute must see for anyone
Cathy, 15 Aug 2025
Amazing- the whole family loved it from start to finish.
The show was an amazing experience from start to finish.. the acting was truly amazing. Doc was so funny and all the casts remain true to the characters from the film and were brilliant. Our 11 and 13 year olds as well as us loved it from start to finish. Music was great too. The whole show was well thought out and executed 5 stars absolutely brilliant.
Nadia, 10 Aug 2025
Brilliant show!
Brilliant performances by all actors. They all looked so enthusiastic and like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. We had such a good time singing along to the music, laughing at all the humour and crying at the emotional parts of the story. A rollercoaster of emotions and seriously great effects. A must watch!
Claire, 10 Aug 2025
Colourful
I enjoyed the show, especially the lighting and the costumes, sometimes the music scores were too loud to hear the lyrics clearly, the script was to me a bit shallow, and the character actor who stood out was for me Doc, acted superbly and professionally, your kids will definitely like the show, so to me it's a full family show.
Gary, 09 Aug 2025
Thank you for Bringing magic on Stage
Thank you for this evening
Stefanie, 04 Aug 2025

Steven, 27 Jul 2025
Something for everyone to enjoy
Enjoyed the show very much. Good for families as well as oldies who remember the fifties.
Veronica, 26 Jul 2025
Outstanding
The sets were incredible and unbelievable how realistic they can make some of the scenes feel given static displays
Bruce, 22 Jul 2025
Wow! What a show!
The show was incredible and we were unbelievably close to the action.
Sara, 21 Jul 2025
Best show to date
We had such a great time at Back to the future, the cast, the music ,the lighting and just all round performance is really great. Highly recommend
Rachael, 20 Jul 2025
Must See for Fans of the 80s
Good musical to the well known and loved Story. Unfortunadly the Music is in Lots of cases too load. We loved the Dekorations and costumes. A bit more acting and less Songs would sometimes be bester.
Frank, 16 Jul 2025
Fabulously glorious!!!
What an afternoon of pure joy x
Diane, 14 Jul 2025
More expected than it was
Change in story at some points and a lot of additional songs. Hm, don’t know about it.
Aleksander, 13 Jul 2025
Best show in London!
We took our son to see Back to the Future: The Musical for his 12th birthday, and it was hands down the best show we’ve ever seen. The energy, effects, music, and performances were incredible—especially the DeLorean scenes, which left us speechless. We were lucky enough to be in the front row, and at one point the main character even interacted with our son, making the experience extra special and unforgettable for him (and us!). A perfect mix of nostalgia and excitement—fun for all ages. We couldn’t have asked for a better birthday treat. Absolutely five stars!
Anthony, 12 Jul 2025
Amazing show!
What an amazing show! Full of talented singers and dancers, humour and special effects that just wow from start to finish. For those that know the film, it's a fabulous nostalgic trip that gives the most wonderful feels.
Helen, 11 Jul 2025
Great Scott Marty.
This is a great tribute to the films, if you’re a fan this is a must see. Lighting and effects were from the future.
Neil, 10 Jul 2025

Fantastic ,up in my top 5 shows
Carolyn, 08 Jul 2025
Can’t believe your eyes
We all had a fun night
Elisabeth, 08 Jul 2025
Delightful DeLorean
As a massive fan of the film franchise, I was skeptical about how it would transition to a stage, but OMG it was amazing. Great acting, singing and dancing and the effects, especially the DeLorean were incredible I would highly recommend
Rachel, 06 Jul 2025
Amazing Show
This show is brilliant. The guy playing Doc Brown (Cory English) steals the show, but they are all amazing. All very true to the movie casting. The effects are world class and really help the show. An easy 10/10 show and pretty reasonable value as well.
Darren, 06 Jul 2025
If you liked the movie you will absolutely love the show
A London must watch
Eymard, 06 Jul 2025
hilarious
Very fun show, the story was a tiny bit confusing to get into at the beginning as I did not know what to expect from a musical about Back to the Future. It was hilarious, with lots of jokes thrown around.
Lea, 05 Jul 2025
Awesome, a real bliss to behold
We loved it
Johan, 02 Jul 2025
Best show ever

Great experience
Show was Great, i loved the acting and effects. It was a freezing inside, i had to wear my trench coat the ehole time.
Annabelle, 30 May 2025
Back to the future with a bang!
Excellent show with superb performances and special effects terrific. While the show is outstanding the seats in the Dress circle at least are small and not very comfortable. Leg room very restricted.
Antony, 30 May 2025
Not my favourite show
The effects at the end with the car above the audience was exceptional. The best bit. Otherwise not my favourite. I see the film years ago and I didn't remember any similarity,
Judy, 29 May 2025
An energised event
An impressive spectacle: seamless set changes against which the players threw themselves 100% into this adaptation of a great favourite.
Martin, 29 May 2025
Fantastic show

Stuart, 27 May 2025
Amazing!!!
Absolute perfection!!! The special effects are off the scale and we couldn't have asked for more! Will be seeing the show again for sure! 10/10!!!
Emma, 24 May 2025
Fantastic!
This is my second time watching, the first was in NY. The cast was amazing, the music and all the sound and light effects. The only thing that bothered me is the.man sitting in front of me who blocked my view
Hava, 24 May 2025
Loud active musical with muddled theme. Lights not good for many.
Average loud musical, lots of effort as compared to quality, a newer style of loud fast music and occasional comedy.
Anjum, 22 May 2025
Unexpectedly spectacular
Very fun with amazing special effects and good acting. Worth seeing even if you’re not familiar with the BTTF films.
Megan, 21 May 2025
Very enjoyable
Brilliant, brought back memories of when movies first came out
Nilufa, 18 May 2025

Tim, 18 May 2025
fascinating Musical
We went together with our sons 10 and 15 years old. They liked so much they were impressed a lot. We felt very nostalgic, happy and fascinated. I suggest everyone must see.

Warren, 17 May 2025
A Future Revisited
We were blown away by the whole show. It far exceeded our expectations as a stage show. The effects were incredible, supported by excellent vocals, dancing and acting. The best live musical we have attended.

Andrew john, 09 May 2025
Cleverly done
The effects are what really make this show great. I’d see it again purely for the DeLorean effects. So clever!
Lynsey, 26 Apr 2025
Excellent
We are big theatre goers and I can honestly say this is one of the best shows I have seen. Top tip to watch the film first if you don’t know the story.
Carolyn, 23 Apr 2025
A Visual Feast.
Great musical, Innovative visual effects, stunning stage transitions.A story most people know already with tons of humor, music and superb acting. entertainment assured.
Ernesto, 21 Apr 2025
Weight what are you saying about this review?
Honestly I was expecting a nostalgic theatre experience but and in the first minutes I thought yep, that’s what I’m going to get. But then, it kept building and building until wow, that was awesome and I’d never expected to see that done in theatre. Definitely recommended for fans of the movie and those with kids. Mine were 9 and 11 and absolutely loved it! As did us and granny. Well done and thanks for a greater Easter Sunday Matinee show!
DANIEL, 20 Apr 2025
Fantastic experience
Amazing special effects and lighting and true to the original story. Well worth the visit.

A really good show. Took my 11 yr old son and husband to there first ever musical. Would definitely recommend.
Marie, 11 Apr 2025
Great zhoh
The sound is a bit off sometimes, don't know if it was because of upper dress circle.
anna, 08 Apr 2025
Super show
Très beau spectacle et surtout de beaux décors.
Delphine, 07 Apr 2025

OLGA, 04 Apr 2025
A good humoured uplifting nostalgic spectacle!
The cast were brilliant. Rally enjoyed the audience engagement and mix of new and old jokes. Fantastic delivery of jokes, songs and dance routines new and old! What a wonderful take on Back to the Future and all the main cast really made the show. Excellent energy and sense of fun! So slick and professional as well.
Paul, 03 Apr 2025
Amazing show we loved it
Wow! What an incredible experience! From the electrifying opening to the grand finale, we were captivated every single moment. The music? Absolutely phenomenal—the band delivered a performance that was out of this world! Our seats offered an up-close view of the magic, though being a tad further back might have been ideal. Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend this show to everyone!
Muhim, 01 Apr 2025
Back to the future 2025
An absolute Brilliant show, effects, singing , dancing, Doc Browns voice was perfect. Would defo see it again
Ronald, 29 Mar 2025
Great show, questionable audience.
5th time at the Adelphi. A nice theatre housing a great show but unfortunately on this occasion we had a couple of mice running around the auditorium which made the experience a little less fun!
Stephen, 24 Mar 2025
Good
We all know the story and it doesn’t wander too far from the original. Overall an enjoyable and fun show.
Andrew, 23 Mar 2025
Gab
Great show. Affect’s were amazing, characters really good especially Doc, very funny. Totally recommend 😊
Juliet, 22 Mar 2025
Amazing show!!
There really is nothing negative to say about Back to the Future the Musical. This is my first time watching a similar theatrical performance and my family and I were speechless. An amazing adaptation of my favorite movie in the theater. The only somewhat negative thing is that the seats we were sitting in, right below the stage and in the first row, prevent you from seeing some scenes of the performance well.
Joseph, 21 Mar 2025
Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing show! Would love to see again.
Susan, 18 Mar 2025
Good family show
The show follows the plot in the film.Doc was great!
Teodor, 18 Mar 2025
Amazing and rock !
Thanks a lot for This incredible show ! So Rock guys ! Congratulations about the adaptation particulary good ! Infini thanks
Mathieu, 17 Mar 2025
Awesome
If you like the film you'll love this theatre production. It was truly spectacular. Ten stars
Michelle, 16 Mar 2025
Cheesy goodness with a great sound track
The special effects were amazing! With a toe tapping sound track. Arrive earlier than you think to the show as there is a security check at the door.
Andrew, 15 Mar 2025
Excellent, a must see
My first time to a musical, fantastic special effects and scene changes, all the actors make it special in their own way, the band under the stage playing live music ( not recorded) makes it sound fantastic. I truly recommend see this musical , we couldn’t see the back of the stage from our seats but we had a pretty good view of the stage
Christopher, 13 Mar 2025
Enthralling the whole way through
We enjoyed the show from beginning to end, the acting and dance, the story line is superb.literally took us back to 1985, the colours, the costumes. CREDIT TO YOU ALL.
Evelyn, 13 Mar 2025
Amazing, loved every minute of it!
Acting was wonderful- such talent!!!….music, costumes, dancing, stage, special effects. Great for family, kids loved it! Couldn’t recommend this show more. Stellar!
Shirley, 13 Mar 2025
Great show
Great show with actors really giving their all to represent the movie characters, but with the addition of some great songs.
Ian, 11 Mar 2025
Stunning
Absolutely amazing the actors were so talented and made you feel as though this was a performance made just for you. The special effects were incredible it was as though the Delorean was actually flying !
Ruth, 08 Mar 2025
The car is not the only star
A joyous, funny and entertaining show, paying homage to the original film. The leads were high quality and held the show together. The musical numbers were excellently performed. My only issue was that the music sometimes drowned out the singers, just needs a tweak to get the balance right. Seats were comfortable and good value, with an excellent view. The ending was special, but I wont spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet.
Theresa, 06 Mar 2025
Excellent
90 percent close to the movie, excellent throughout the show, but absolutely spectacular ending
Angelo, 27 Feb 2025
Great fun for the whole family
Great show. We saw it a couple of years ago as a couple and loved it and came again with our 4 children aged 11 to 15. They all really enjoyed it. They especially loved the effects and the way the Delorean moved. Doc Brown character steals the show in our opinion, great songs and acting
Claire, 25 Feb 2025
A great show with excellent effects
I really enjoyed this......I booked at the last minute following a recommendation during a short stay in London. The cast are great & the effects were amazing.
Jonathan, 22 Feb 2025
Amazing and lively
Very well made show with lot of positives and amazing storyline , supported by brilliant music and vocals.
