Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Academy of Music

Bringing you back in time to the iconic '50s and '80s, Back To The Future was a fan favorite when it was was shown in cinemas. Its plot, Despite being sci-fi comedy in nature, was seamlessly able to blend the contrasting 1980s and 1950s cultures but still keeping in line with its sci-fi theme and including components of the then-possible-future.

This creative narrative enabled the creators, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, to not only build on the 1985 motion picture and extend it into a film franchise, but also appreciably widen the number of viewers of Back To The Future to an additional kind of fan base – theater fans. The idea for a stage version had been hinted at to Robert in '05, and after extensive preparation, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale were ultimately able to release The musical version of Back To The Future fifteen years later.

As one of the more modern additions to current long list of musicals, the show had the prerogative to implement changes that could fit the current times better as well as make use of the updated tech, that at the time of the original film was not invented yet. As a live adaptation, it's much easier to get swept up in emotion and is quite captivating because of Back To The Future appearing more upbeat than watching on a screen. With tangible cast members, scenes, and organic fan reactions, the liveliness in each showing is invariably the most genuine possible. The tone of the show is also modified to a small degree; because the stage adaptation is produced in this decade, the show tends to focus more on celebrating what comes next rather than looking back towards nostalgia.
