Will Demers

But "Back to the Future" is fun, filled with moments that you loved about the film, and while the "new" musical numbers didn't leave me with anything really memorable, the film's songs like "Power of Love" and "Johnny B. Goode" are quite welcome because they are so much a part of the story line. Also, the special effects will surely thrill you; thankfully in 2025 we have the technology to make you believe a car can actually fly. Bring the family, and even if you are one of the few who've never seen the films, this show will satisfy a craving for spectacle.

All of the actors seem at home here. You'd never know this is their first stop on the tour. Grand vocals, fun choreography, and some slapstick round out a fun night of light entertainment with the promise of a neat and happy (and somewhat sappy) resolution by the end of act two. Kids will enjoy the neat production numbers and visuals, and adults will giggle at the many double entendres and maybe even want to sing along.

That the producers went with a complete unknown only shows their confidence with McCrimmon who makes her tour debut (she previously appeared in the non-singing 'The Rose Tattoo' on Broadway) with this role. You'll not often hear a voice as amazing as hers; she is most definitely a young actress who'll go places -- not only can she sing, her performance IS pure musical theater. 'Hello Gorgeous' indeed! If you see at least one show this year, seek out this one in your town and you will be telling your friends what a time you had.
