Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

Let's get right to it! This is a story line that you probably already know. That's potentially the main reason why you're coming to the Orpheum Theatre. Why go watch a play when know exactly what's going to happen? It's a rhetorical question because the answer is everything that happens in the middle! One of the coolest things about Back To The Future - Theatrical Production is that it does stay very true to the film. At the same time, in every adaptation of this show on Broadway on the West End or in the US Tour, the performers have been given plenty of liberties to put their style on the characters. While some of the dialogue was transferred directly from the original script, you won't see Roger Bart, who's played Doc Brown on Broadway and The West End, try to imitate Christopher Lloyd. The same thing goes for Marty McFly and Michael J. Fox.

You could say that's a given because this is a musical, and the actors who are giving life to these characters in the theater have to sing. While there's some truth to this, it's still safe to say that one of the ingredients to the success of the story as a play is that it has taken up a life of its own. That's something that everyone in the seats is going to enjoy because what's going to be happening on stage isn't just a re-make of the film. What's taking place is similar to the way that a musical like The Lion King has been able to distance itself from the kids film. In Back to the Future, the soundtrack is truly maximized in the musical in a way that the movie will always fall short of.
