“A splashy theatre-film mashup, with gravity-defying effects, cute quirks and offbeat gags.” – The Guardian

This is a literally time sensitive predicament! Marty McFly accidentally finds himself in the past after trying to save the bizarre neighboor genius Doc Brown from radiation poisoning. Turns out the all jazzed up DeLorean was a time machine and it transported them 30 years into the past! Now, McFly explores his town to search for that time period’s Doc Brown since the time machine is broken and he’s the only person who can fix it. During his time in the past, Marty McFly causes some pivotal moments that will later cause his existence to go poof! Now, he has to find a way to fix the future by undoing the things – like causing his teenage version of his mom to have a major crush on him. Will Marty get back to the timeline or will he be stuck in 1955 forever?

This brilliant epic is just too awesome to stay as a film especially when this fantastic production delivers one of the most stunning stagecraft London’s West End and Broadway has ever seen – think flying DeLorean zooming above the audience as a grand spanking finale!
