Mar. 15, 2025

On Friday, producers for the musical stage adaptation of the beloved 1985 film announced that the show — which premiered in the West End in 2021 and went on to win the 2022 Olivier Award for best new musical — will tread the boards this summer, with performances beginning at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City on June 30, 2023, ahead of an Aug. 3 opening.

Lloyd, 83, even joins Bart, 60, in a new video to tease the Broadway run, playing a used-car salesman who sells Brown the iconic DeLorean time machine.

“I have a feeling you’ll be at the Winter Garden Theatre a long time,” he jokes.

“To paraphrase Marty McFly, you guys are ready for this, and your kids are gonna love it (too)!” Gale said in a statement. “If Bob Zemeckis and I time traveled back to 1980 and told our younger selves that the script they were struggling to write would become a Broadway musical 43 years later, they’d kick us out of their office and call us crazy. Well, sometimes, crazy ideas give birth to great entertainment, and now Bob and I are eager to share our musical vision with New York audiences.”

Aside form Bart, Olivier Award nominee Hugh Coles will also return to the show from the West End production, once again playing George McFly.

The rest of the creative team includes Tony-winning director John Rando (Urintown,Mr. Saturday Night), as well as Tim Hatley (set and costume design); Tim Lutkin and Hugh Vanstone (lighting); Gareth Owen (sound) and Finn Ross (video); Chris Bailey (choreography), Nick Finlow (musical supervision and arrangements); Chris Fisher (illusions); Ethan Popp and Bryan Crook (orchestrations); David Chase (dance arrangements); and Ted Arthur (music direction).

He added that the musical “was a way to revisit it without tampering with the lore of the movie. Nobody who sees the musical is ever going to get it confused with the movie and that has worked really well to our advantage.”
