Description
The official behind-the-scenes companion to the stage musical adaptation of Back to the Future.
Premiering at the Manchester Opera House in February 2020 to rave reviews—including a notice from the Guardian that the show "sets a new standard of spectacle," Back to the Future: The Musical brings the classic 1985 film to life on the theatrical stage. Featuring music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard and a book by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale (adapted from their original screenplay), the show stars Tony Award–winner Roger Bart as Doc Brown and Olly Dobson as Marty McFly.
Creating Back to the Future: The Musical offers fans of the film franchise and lovers of musical theatre an engrossing and entertaining look at the birth of a new theatrical classic. With unprecedented access to cast and crew, author Michael Klastorin (Back to The Future: The Ultimate Visual History) pairs exclusive, in-depth interviews with previously unpublished photography; excerpts from Bob Gale’s personal journal; and a foreword by Gale to reveal and detail the years-long process, and the creative ingenuity and technical innovation, that went into the show’s West End premiere.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Broadway World praises it as a lavish celebration that captures the journey of the musical from early tryouts through pandemic challenges to eventual success, highlighting the songs, sets, and support from the original film's team. The Times-Georgian recommends the book to fans of the film and musical theatre, noting its honest depiction of the creative process rather than a flawless story, underscoring the musical as a genuine artistic effort.
