Marty McFly is a rock 'n' roll teenager who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his friend, Dr. Emmett Brown. But before he can return to 1985, Marty must make sure his high school-aged parents fall in love in order to save his own existence.

'Back to the Future: The Musical' review: Nostalgia-fueled spectacle stuck in first gear
5 / 10
I’ll admit, the idea of adapting Robert Zemeckis’ classic for the stage piqued my curiosity. Live theater is a notoriously tricky medium to translate cinematic spectacle into something immediate and alive. But within minutes, it becomes clear that this production has written itself into a paradox of its own, one that even Doc Brown couldn’t fix. Some things, perhaps, should have been left in 1985.
Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL at Opera House/Kennedy Center
7 / 10
Caden Brauch makes a sturdy Marty. He's a fine comic actor and triple threat who should just keep fine-tuning his duckwalk in order to make it really goode, if you know what I'm sayin'. Don Stephenson's Doc is sensational. He underplays like an old vaudevillian, and he has mastered the very hard art of throwing lines and bits away. (Best one: When Marty asks him who the girls are who suddenly arrive to sing and dance behind their number, Doc shrugs, "They just show up when I start singing.") He's got the three best songs in the show (Music and Lyrics by Alan Silvestri, who wrote the scores for all three BTTF films, and Glen Ballard): "It Works," (the DeLorean, of course), "21st Century," in which Doc dreams what he might see in the future--The Doctor would like that Doc dreams of The Tardis, and a lovely ballad "For the Dreamers," sung with mostly solo piano which provides some Act II auditory respite from the onslaught of the overly loud rest of the show. And Stephenson never never never pretends that he's Christopher Lloyd; Doc belongs to him, and a good time is had by all.
