Theater critics can’t stop raving about the trailblazing set design and props for this highly beloved spectacl. “Put simply, the car is awesome. It also serves as the show’s biggest not-so-secret weapon. Brought to life through a combination of lights, smoke, video screens, and, yes, fire — the DeLorean brings all of the magic from the screen to the stage, and by the end of the show, audiences will truly believe a car can fly,” said Daltos Ross of Entertainment Weekly.

“A theatrical masterpiece” – Beffshuff.com

The Guardian was totally amazed by the show’s Delorean as well. “It really does seem as if the DeLorean is defying the laws of theatre, if not the time-space continuum. The effect is created through a plethora of screens, graphic projections and a firework of illuminations that sear beyond the proscenium arch and into the auditorium,” wrote resident critic Arifa Akbar.

Avid theater critic Bethan Shufflebotham shared, “It’s nothing short of a theatrical masterpiece that is fully immersive and brings the story to life before your eyes. The pièce de résistance comes just before curtain close, pulling off a phenomenal illusion that will leave you with the same mind-boggling feeling.” 

For Back to the Future trilogy’s followers, they will be glad to know that the musical will be showcasing some fan service. “Remarkably true to the trajectory of the film’s plot, with some small, appropriate updates (the cause of the threat to Doc’s life which sends Marty racing into the past is considerably less provocative in this version), one of the great joys of the production are the homage performances,” wrote Sarah Lambie from Drama & Theater.

This magnificent theater breakthrough is making its way into Chicago, Illinois this summer. It’s quite an addition to the state’s bustling musical circuit as it’s one of the few sci-fi epics to ever go into town. Back the Future the Musical will take over the legendary Cadillac Palace Theatre. The venue has been specially selected for its state of the art facilities, including hi tech lights and sound technology, excellent acoustics, stunning ambiance (think French baroque interiors), and comfortable seating.
