Back in the 1980s, “Back to the Future” and its two sequels were giant film hits. Now, the Broadway musical is playing at the Hollywood Pantages Theater. Winner of the 2022 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, this production took longer to bring to the stage than all three films took to make.
Its success is due to the partnership between the film’s composer, Alan Silvestri, and music producer Glen Ballard, who collaborated on the music and lyrics for the production.
“Back to the Future: the Musical” is now playing at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre through December 1st. For tickets, go to BroadwayinHollywood.com. Then, it moves to Orange County for its run at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts starting Dec. 26. Those tickets are now on sale at SCFTA.org.
