Back To The Future The Musical will open in Bristol in October with the tour scheduled to run until 3rd July 2027.

Lead producer, Colin Ingram said: “I’m so delighted that the DeLorean will be travelling 88mph to all the main theatre cities in the UK so that we can bring this heartfelt spectacle of a show to those who haven’t seen it in the West End or want to see it again.

“Great Scott! Audiences are going to have such a fun and thrilling ride in a show which will tour in all its glory and be one of the biggest sets to come out on the road.”

Back To The Future The Musical is into its fifth year in London, playing at the Adelphi Theatre where it has broken box office venues and has been seen by over two million people. The show is also a global success and has been seen by over four million people worldwide, including in North America and Japan.

Back to the Future The Musical is based on the 1985 Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment film starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as Dr Emmett.

When Marty McFly finds himself transported back to 1955 in a time machine built by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown, he accidentally changes the course of history. Now he’s in a race against time to fix the present, escape the past and send himself… back to the future.
