Kathryn Adeline will assume the role of Lorraine Baines in the North American Tour of Back to the Future: The Musical in Baltimore, MD. The Broadway and West End show based on the film brings the cinematic classic to the stage

Comedian John Mulaney has famously raised a few uncomfortable questions about BACK TO THE FUTURE — why a teenager is best friends with a decades-older nuclear scientist, why no one uses a time machine for anything meaningful, and why the story hinges on Marty nearly romancing his own mother.

If you don't know the capsule plot of Back to the Future yet, close this review and go pull it up for streaming, or check TBS (Back to the Future is almost always running on TBS these days).

New production photos of the North American Tour of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical, now officially in year two out on the road, have been released. Check out a brand-new look at the show below!

The 1980’s were a great era for blockbuster movies..TOOTSIE, MRS DOUBTFIRE, PRETTY WOMAN, and DIRTY DANCING, to name a few. And who doesn't want to capitalize on a beloved classic. Broadway producers love a familiar title and composers have taken a shining to transform these gems of yesteryear into Broadway musicals.

BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL lands at Providence Performing Arts Center. National Tour delivers spectacle, nostalgia, and a flying DeLorean.

Now heading into its second year on the road, BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical has its destination set for the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) from Tuesday, June 10 to Father’s Day on Sunday, June 15, 2025.

The North American Tour of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical, now heading into its second year on the road, will welcome former Broadway cast members David Josefsberg and Nathaniel Hackmann as Doc Brown and Biff Tannen.

Back to the Future at the Straz wasn’t just a performance but a phenomenon. It was a collision of story, skill, and science fiction that made the impossible feel intimate.

You can now get a first look at new production photos of the North American Tour of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical, featuring the newly announced Lucas Hallauer as Marty McFly and Mike Bindeman as George McFly. 

Television and film have always encapsulated my attention with a fervor. The imprint left by action movies from a bygone era still burn with a certain reverence. It is no secret that the culture of today seems to thrive on nostalgia which is why we see so many theatrical productions having made their way from the screen to the stage.

Lucas Hallauer will assume the role of Marty McFly in the North American Tour of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical in Denver, CO. Caden Brauch will play his final tour performance as Marty McFly in Denver.

A riotous, mostly silly, but also sometimes laughably odd theatrical entity, this touring production of this enjoyable, endearingly-familiar stage musical adaptation of the hit 1985 sci-fi comedy is definitely a fun time—but mostly due to its visual wow factor. For those who cherish the original film, the musical is a delightful tribute. For newcomers or those seeking a deeper narrative experience, it's an entertaining-enough spectacle.

Dear Readers, buckle up! Not because we’re about to go 88 mph but because I’m about to be a musical theater snob. The trend of turning popular (or even not so popular) movies into big splashy Broadway musicals is not a new one. And when it works such as with the likes of “Legally Blonde”, “Waitress”, or “Some Like It Hot”, it can be glorious. But for every one of those, you also get the likes of “Pretty Woman”, “Dirty Dancing”, or God forbid “Flashdance”. Shows that were better left on the silver screen. One such show is “Back to the Future: The Musical”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. And even if they could have gotten the car running (we’ll get to that in a minute) the show is still a travesty.

Mike Bindeman will join the North American Tour of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical as George McFly. Bindeman will assume the role in January as Burke Swanson departs the company.
