If given the chance to go back in time and change anything about “Back to the Future,” Bob Gale, the writer of the 1985 science-fiction comedy, wouldn’t make many alterations. The film, which follows a teenager’s adventure to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean, became a beloved box-office success, known for its memorable quotes. It also spawned two successful sequels and became a cultural phenomenon. However, even with its initial success, the “Back to the Future” franchise continued to resurface over the years in various forms, including books, games, and theme park rides. Now, it is making its way to Broadway with “Back to the Future: The Musical,” opening on August 3rd at the Winter Garden Theater. The musical will tell a familiar story to fans of the film, with Marty McFly using a time machine to meet his parents as teenagers and help them fall in love. The road to Broadway hasn’t been without its challenges, as the creators have had to figure out how to bring the essence of “Back to the Future” onto the stage, including elements like the iconic time-traveling car. The musical comes with high expectations, having already won an Olivier Award for Best New Musical during its run in London’s West End. With a production cost of $23.5 million, it’s clear that the creators have invested heavily in the show. Throughout the development process, the team aimed to stay true to the spirit of the original films, while also making necessary adjustments to suit the theatrical medium. Bob Gale, who was inspired to create “Back to the Future” after seeing a photo of his father as a teenager, has been a passionate guardian of the franchise and was involved in the decision to bring it to Broadway. Despite some setbacks and creative differences along the way, the creators found a director in John Rando, who promised to take good care of the beloved characters. Certain signature moments from the film had to be reimagined for the stage, while others offered opportunities for fresh invention. The composers, Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, embraced the challenge of creating new songs that would fit seamlessly into the story. The cast includes Roger Bart as Doc Brown and Casey Likes as Marty, who aim to bring their own unique interpretations to the iconic roles. Overall, “Back to the Future: The Musical” sets out to honor the original films while offering a fresh theatrical experience that captures the imagination of audiences in a new way.
