Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Procter & Gamble Hall

Back To The Future The Musical, a stage play that was prepared for meticulously, was conceived back 20 years ago, when the spouse of one of the originators, Robert Zemeckis, was excited about the concept of reviving Back To The Future on a new platform. The musical was poised to debut in the year 2015, as an allusion to the second part to the first movie (which was released in 1989), but the stage adaptation was delayed unintentionally and eventually opened at the Manchester Opera House, then after a year, transferred to London’s Adelphi Theater after the recent pandemic.

The musical, despite a few minor modifications, still features the time-traveling journey of Marty McFly as he gets transported through time to the year 1955, where he gets forcibly stuck. Additionally, given the flexibility of live performances, the adaptation was free to establish its own identity that vastly improved the production. Both visually and audibly, the film-turned-musical has unforgettable execution. It takes advantage of the most advanced equipment possible in Broadway and makes the whole set feel alive, with the stage fabrication, lighting, audio direction, and 3D animations all blending with one another quite well. The DeLorean in particular, (which is certainly the most recognizable element of Back To The Future) the moment the device is slid out in the first act, was a stunning representation that theatergoers have raved about.

Focusing on only animation editing, the groundbreaking musical also definitely is on another level. Animation designer Finn Ross uses 3D editing quite well that every single backdrop serves as an actual and real location that gives more color to the live sets effortlessly. Ross also mentions that in each video backdrop “It has to look like a natural part of the musical. Oftentimes we would take inspiration from actual textures, but we wished to attain this slight heightening of reality to go with the level of zest the musical exists on.”

This coming September’s run of Back To The Future will be held in Procter & Gamble Hall at Aronoff Center in Cincinnati, on Tuesday 9th September 2025. As a consequence of being an extremely technology- heavy musical, it is reasonable to say that each and every run’s chosen theater has to be able to have the best machines possible for the musical. With the greatest gear from lighting to the sound system, as well as impeccable stage building, theatergoers are sure to enjoy a delightful show.
