It’s a good day for Back to the Future fans! Marty McFly and the Doc are coming to Broadway! The show will open at the Winter Garden Theatre on August 3, 2023, with preview performances beginning on June 30.
The musical comes to New York City from across the pond, where it first opened at the Manchester Opera House in 2020. That initial run was cut short by the pandemic, which forced theaters around the world to close their doors. But it opened again last fall at London’s Adelphi Theatre, where it is still running.
The musical follows McFly, a puffer-vest-clad teenager, as he befriends Emmett “Doc” Brown, a mad-scientist type who turned his DeLorean into a time machine. McFly accidentally uses it to travel back in time, where he entangles himself in the lives of his young parents—and thereby threatens his own existence.
Should be exciting!
