BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL will delight anyone who loves farcical, outlandish and quirky stories and who has a special liking for special effects. Don’t expect a deep thought-provoking tale or sublime music. This isn’t a show for that. Go! Sit back and enjoy the overdone hijinks! Escape from reality! Laugh, clap and jump up at the end for the required standing ovation

Just as "Phantom of the Opera" had the falling chandelier and "Miss Saigon" had a flying helicopter, "Back to the Future: The Musical" cashes in an on-stage time-barrier-smashing DeLorean DMC. It flies through time and space right before the audience's eyes as realistically as the plutonium-fueled concoction by the crazed-but-cuddly inventor Doc Brown in the original film and its sequels.

This show has a deep and thought provoking message. Come to the theater to have a good time. Be wowed by the special effects, be dazzled by the dance numbers, cheer for the car and enjoy the music. It is that simple. This is a show to see just for the fun of it. GREAT SCOTT!

The stage version of that uber-popular flick—Back to the Future, the Musical—is now making a tour stop at Playhouse Square, and while the staging effects are spectacular enough to buckle your knees (even while sitting) the rest of the play often falls short on a few scores.

Time travel? Yes, please. At least if it’s Back to the Future: The Musical.
This Broadway take on time travel whooshed into the State Theatre at Playhouse Square last week. Starting its national tour in Cleveland, the show is a fun blast from the past.

All in all, BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL is one wild ride and worth the trip. The experience as a whole is satisfyingly exciting, and you'll want to take this one for a spin this summer.
