Great Scott! Back To The Future The Musical returns to the West End this summer

Great Scott! Back To The Future The Musical, based on the popular film trilogy created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale is set to return to the West End this summer.

Produced by Colin Ingram and with a book by Gale and new music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, the show is expected to open at the Adelphi Theatre from 20 August.

The story revolves around Marty McFly (played by Olly Dobson), a rock ‘n’ roll teenager who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a time-travelling DeLorean invented by his friend, Dr Emmett Brown (played by Roger Bart). 

But before he can return to 1985, Marty must make sure his high school-aged parents fall in love in order to save his own existence.

Back to the Future the movie was released in 1985, starring Michael J Fox as McFly and Christopher Lloyd as Brown. The film grossed $360.6 million (£279 million) at the box office worldwide, while the trilogy grossed $936.6 million (equivalent to more than $1.8 billion in today’s money).

The show, directed by John Rando, also includes songs familiar from the original film soundtrack, including The Power of Love and Johnny B. Goode.
