The beloved classic film “Back to the Future” is making a comeback as a Broadway musical, with its official premiere slated for the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) in 2025. This highly anticipated adaptation has garnered multiple accolades, including the prestigious 2022 Olivier Award for Best New Musical and four WhatsOnStage Awards, showcasing its appeal and promise to theatergoers.
Set within the whimsical and fantastical realm of 1980s nostalgia, “Back to the Future: The Musical” will feature direction by Tony Award®-winner John Rando and original music composed by multi-Grammy® winners Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard. The show’s score includes iconic songs such as “The Power of Love,” “Johnny B. Goode,” “Earth Angel,” and “Back in Time,” enticing both fans of the original film and new audiences alike.
The musical follows the adventures of Marty McFly, a teenager who finds himself transported back to the year 1955 by his eccentric friend, Doc Brown, who has built a time machine out of a Delorean. Throughout the narrative, Marty unintentionally alters significant events of the past, putting his own existence in jeopardy. To rectify the disruption and navigate his way back to the future, he must take decisive actions that intertwine with his family’s history.
The buzz around the musical is further enhanced by an exciting promotion set to commence on June 2, 2025. This promotion will consist of daily ticket giveaways, with two tickets being drawn each day until June 6, 2025. Interested participants must be legal residents of the designated promotion area and at least 18 years of age to enter the daily drawings. Every day, entries will be accepted from 5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST, and the regular price for each ticket is approximately $75.
Participants in the giveaway will need to respond to a trivia question that will be featured during a specific segment of a television show. Due to multiple restrictions that apply, entrants should verify all requirements prior to participating. The odds of winning will vary based on the number of entries received during each drawing.
Once it reaches its signature speed of 88mph, “Back to the Future: The Musical” is expected to revolutionize the landscape of musical theatre. Its run in Providence will mark an essential milestone, with subsequent performances planned in major cities including Dallas, Texas, and Tampa, Florida.
The original “Back to the Future” film, released in 1985, has become a cultural touchstone, celebrated for its blend of comedy, drama, and science fiction. The film’s enduring popularity has led its creators, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, to return to the story to adapt it for the stage, ensuring that the essence of the classic remains intact while introducing new elements appealing to contemporary audiences.
As excitement continues to build for its 2025 opening, “Back to the Future: The Musical” is set to not only pay homage to the original film but to engage a broader audience, promising laughter, nostalgia, and unforgettable musical numbers.
