Jurassic Shark 8,521 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Masterworks Broadway is delighted to announce the release of the Original Cast Recording to Back To The Future: The Musical. The musical is staged at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End and features new music by multi-Grammy winners Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard alongside hit songs from the movie including The Power Of Love, Johnny B. Good, Earth Angel and Back In Time. Behind this eagerly-anticipated stage show are Producer Colin Ingram (Ghost – The Musical) and Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, the creators of the Back To The Future film trilogy. The show moves to the West End following an out-of-town opening in March 2020 at the Manchester Opera House where it was enthusiastically received by critics and public alike. Roger Bart and Olly Dobson will reprise the roles of ‘Doc Brown’ and ‘Marty McFly’ respectively. Also returning are Hugh Coles as ‘George McFly’, Rosanna Hyland as ‘Lorraine Baines’, Cedric Neal as ‘Goldie Wilson’, Aidan Cutler as ‘Biff Tannen’ and Courtney-Mae Briggs as ‘Jennifer Parker’. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09FZ4DQVN WampaRat and Tom Guernsey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverTrumpet 373 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I saw Silvestri talking about this a lot on Instagram but I think I blew it off, assuming I was on pills when I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album announcement says the musical premiered in March 2020, but in Silvestri's recent postings it looks like he's still working on it. Weird.

Thor 5,254 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Maybe some pandemic postponement thing. I believe he posted a photo on Insta yesterday or the day before where he attended the gala premiere. Alongside Zemeckis, Lloyd, Gale, Ballard and some other dude.

Tom Guernsey 892 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Have to admit that I'm looking forward to seeing it sometime, although not heard any of the songs - they seem t have focussed on the existing songs in the marketing. A friend of mine who is a professional musicals/classical reviewer really enjoyed it so I'm relatively optimistic... it's certainly no Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark style disaster. bigjimwilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bigjimwilson 73 Posted September 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2021 Think we need to lighten up a little, and I'm saying that from personal experience. I was horrified when I heard they were thinking about doing this, but I saw it during its initial run in Manchester, and I loved it. There were a very tiny handful of cringy moments, maybe a few headscratch "hmmmmm.... not sure" bits, but that could equally just be my general dislike of musicals. But they've done a truly wonderful job of capturing the spirit of the film and also managing to make it stand as its own thing. The cast are brilliant. The effects work with the car are simply staggering. Proper jaw drop moments. I know people who saw this having never seen the film (I know, I know.... choose my friends more carefully) and they adored it. BTTF for them will always be the musical first and foremost. The other thing to consider, is that with the core creative team behind the film also involved here, it means that Bob and Bob are keeping true to their word in keeping the rights with them and not letting anyone get close to it in terms of remake or reboot on the screen. It's all done from a place of love, and despite my huge initial reservations there are no barrels being scraped here. Also, without it, I might never have met Alan Silvestri So selfishly I'm in full support! Tom Guernsey, Jurassic Shark and Muad'Dib 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 6,167 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Bob and Bob being involved, certainly validates it. If they still have the rights...howzabout 1941: The Musical?
