Back to the Future: The Musical

The Lowdown

Back to the Future: The Musical ran from August 3, 2023, to January 5, 2025, at the Winter Garden Theatre. For those still hunting for Back to the Future: The Musical Broadway tickets or trying to recall the details of the Back to the Future: The Musical lottery, the run has officially concluded. It spent over a year occupying a prime piece of real estate on 50th Street, but the DeLorean has finally left the garage.

The production leaned hard into the spectacle of a flying car, prioritizing pyrotechnics over the grit we usually expect from a Midtown stage. While the score was functional, the show relied heavily on the audience’s collective nostalgia for 1985 rather than doing anything new with the source material. It was a loud, expensive nostalgia trip that kept the tourists happy while the rest of us navigated the usual post-theater congestion on 7th Avenue. Casey Likes did the heavy lifting as Marty, managing to capture the frantic energy of the role without becoming a caricature. It was a polished piece of theater tech, even if it lacked a soul of its own.
