Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Kennedy Center Opera House

Let's cut to the chase! This is a tale that you probably already know. That's maybe the first reason why you're heading to the Kennedy Center Opera House. What makes it worthwhile to watch a play when you've essentially seen the end from the beginning? It's a rhetorical question because the answer is you're interested in seeing how they handle the plot! One of the best elements about Back To The Future - Theatrical Production is that it does stay very true to the source material. At the same time, in every version of this play on Broadway on the West End or in the US Tour, the performers have been given plenty of liberties to put their spin on the characters. While some of the lines were transferred directly from the film, you're not going to see Roger Bart, who's played Doc Brown on Broadway and The West End, try to copy Christopher Lloyd. The same thing applies to Marty McFly and Michael J. Fox.

You could say it's obviously different because this is a musical, and the actors who are giving life to these characters on stage 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 show 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 movie. What's happening here is similar to the way that a production like The Lion King has been able to distance itself from the kids film. In this case, the songs are fully maximized in the musical in a way that the movie will always fall short of.
