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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
Gul merve, 17 May 2025
Back to the Theatre We came out as a family to watch the show and we all loved it!
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.
LESLIE, 16 May 2025

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.

Marie, 11 Apr 2025
Great zhoh The sound is a bit off sometimes, don't know if it was because of upper dress circle.

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

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.
Syed, 18 Feb 2025
Spectacular, uplifting Fantastic scenery and merging of cinematic effects which were seamless. Also in these miserable times of hate and nastiness it was a very cheerful and uplifting experience. Pure enjoyment - go see it!
David, 13 Feb 2025
Absolutely amazing Fabulous show. Technical aspects amazing.
Amanda, 07 Feb 2025
Just good fun! This was just straightforward fun. Good music, great effects (wait till the end!). A few neatly done homages to other films of the era.

Susan, 31 Jan 2025
Must see Start to the end was amazing great evening
Darren, 26 Jan 2025
Just ok Not the best, but stayed and watched until the end. Doc & George McFly were the best to watch.
Fantastic effects.
The Theatre was quite cold, kept my coat on.
Corinna, 25 Jan 2025
Fantastic musical ! Fantastic musical, great effects! It was spectacular.
The only less point are the chairs,it is very small. For big guys, take the Isle seats so you can stretch your legs
Patricia, 24 Jan 2025
Excellent effects Wasn't sure how story would translate on stage but was successful
Karen, 21 Jan 2025
Great A great takes on a classic film
Jackie, 20 Jan 2025
A fun show The special effects are good in this show, as is the car. Ideal show for teenagers. The singing is good , but not great. It’s a fun show! Perfect Sunday afternoon in Januart entertainment.
Kerry, 20 Jan 2025
Brilliant Great show that I would thoroughly recommend although at times I felt the music was a little loud.
Judith, 19 Jan 2025
Amazing all round show. I brought the tickets for my partner for Xmas and I wasn't that excited for the show as I've only seen the film a couple of times a long time ago so wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it. I was completely surprised by just how much I really loved the show. The lighting, special effects, singing, music, storyline and great seats! We both thoroughly enjoyed the performance and we would recommend it to anyone.
Anneka, 18 Jan 2025
Fun and amazed the arrangement is great, the car and how it gives you the vision of it moving at fast speed is genius, loved it. I won't spoilt the surprise at the end, I am still thinking how they did it. The singing and dancing was also very energetic, perfect way to end a long day at work. the only thing is the lighting into the audience is quite bright, had to shut my eyes a number of times. This is the only negative.
KaMan, 16 Jan 2025
West end musical the way the shows should be Funny, well performed, true to the story with a twist
Shira, 09 Jan 2025
Great night out, a must seen. We really enjoyed the show, it was not only close to the story, it really enhanced it.
