MINNEAPOLIS — You don't need to build a flux capacitator to travel back in time and relive an '80s phenomenon.
"Back to the Future the Musical," which won the 2022 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, is coming to the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown Minneapolis at the beginning of fall.
The London's West End and Broadway show is based on the 1985 blockbuster film that spawned two sequels: "Back to the Future Part II" in 1989 and "Back to the Future Part III" in 1990. All three films combined grossed nearly a billion dollars.
The award-winning musical stars Caden Brauch as Marty McFly, Don Stephenson as Doc Brown and Ethan Rogers as Biff Tannen.
"Back to the Future the Musical" officially premiered at the Manchester Opera House on March 11, 2020. It then had a huge run at London's West End beginning in 2021 and hit Broadway in August of 2023.
The musical is directed by Tony Award-winner John Rando with original music by multi-Grammy-winners Alan Silvestri ("Avengers: Endgame") and Glen Ballard (Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror"), alongside songs from the movie including "The Power of Love," "Johnny B. Goode" and "Back in Time."
"Back to the Future the Musical" will play at the Orpheum from Tuesday, Sept. 10 to Sunday, Sept. 22.
Tickets, which start at $50, will go on sale at HennepinTheatreTrust.org on Friday, June 14, 2024, at 10 a.m.
The production contains flashing lights, strobe effects, pyrotechnics and is recommended for ages 6 and up.
Its run time is 2 hours and 35 minutes and includes one intermission.
