BACK TO THE FUTURE Suspends Performances Due to Illness Within the Cast
Performances are set to resume at the Adelphi Theatre on 20 September.
Earlier this week, BroadwayWorld reported that opening night for the West End production of Back to the Future The Musical, proceeded without its leading man, Roger Bart, who tested positive for COVID-19. Now the show has announced that performances have officially been suspended through Monday, 20 September due to illness within the cast.
We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause. All tickets will be refunded, and Patrons will be contacted to re-book by their point of purchase. 2/2
