Treason the Musical returns with a bang this November, with further unheard tracks released today available to listen here, in anticipation of a workshop later this year, and a full-scale production to be formally announced for 2022.  

Last night Huey Lewis, the writer and performer of the iconic songs The Power of Love and Back in Time, which feature in the Back to the Future film and musical, was in attendance at BACK TO THE FUTURE The Musical with Bob Gale, the creator of the Back to the Future film trilogy and book writer and producer of the musical, to celebrate Back to the Future Day.

BACK TO THE FUTURE The Musical’s performances at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End will extend to 3 July 2022. Tickets on sale now. The musical, which had its opening night on Monday 13 September, has had an incredible reaction from the public and been rewarded with 5 star and 4 star reviews. 

Earlier this week, BroadwayWorld reported that opening night for the West End production of Back to the Future The Musical, proceeded with out 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.

Last night, guests and celebrities celebrated the opening night of BACK TO THE FUTURE The Musical at the Adelphi Theatre, with a pre-show drinks reception at the Corinthia hotel.

BroadwayWorld has learned that Roger Bart, who plays Doc Brown in Back to the Future The Musical, has tested positive for Covid-19.

Roger Bart, who plays Doc Brown, has tested positive for Covid-19, so his understudy, Mark Oxtoby, will go on as Doc Brown for the first time tonight. The official press opening for the production has been delayed.

Since its release in 1985 Back to the Future has been an iconic film. It made a star out of Michael J Fox and catapulted Huey Lewis’ “The Power of Love” into a worldwide hit. Despite repeated pressure and two sequels, creators Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale always refused to make a reboot of the original film, but the thought of a musical as a new medium to tell the story has proved irresistible.

Michael J Fox was unable to travel to London to attend the opening night, but got to see the musical via video and shared a note with the cast.
