Original 'Back to the Future' Stars Support Broadway Cast at Opening Night of New Musical!

The cast of the new Back to the Future musical is receiving support from the cast of the original movie!

Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox, and Lea Thompson were all in attendance for opening night of the new Broadway show on Tuesday (July 25) at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City.

The three actors joined the Broadway cast Roger Bart, Casey Likes, Hugh Coles, Liana Hunt, Jelani Remy, Nathaniel Hackmann, Merritt David Janes, and Mikaela Secada on the red carpet.

After winning the Olivier Award for Best New Musical last year, Back to the Future: The Musical has transferred from London’s West End to Broadway. When Marty McFly finds himself transported back to 1955 in a time machine built by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown, he accidentally changes the course of history. Now he’s in a race against time to fix the present, escape the past and send himself… back to the future.

The film’s creators Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis worked together to adapt the movie for the stage and the show features music from multi-Grammy winners Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard alongside hit songs from the movie including “The Power of Love,” “Johnny B. Goode,” “Earth Angel” and “Back in Time.”
