Watch the Trailer for Back To The Future: The Musical Featuring the Original West End Cast:
When Marty McFly finds himself transported back to 1955 in a time machine built by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown, he accidentally changes the course of history. Now he’s in a race against time to fix the present, escape the past and send himself… back to the future.
The smash-hit musical, which won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, will make its way to Australian shores, promising audiences an electrifying experience. First brought to life by Christopher Lloyd in the beloved 1985 film, the eccentric, lovable “Doc” Brown returns to the stage with Roger Bart, who has captivated audiences on the West End and Broadway with his stellar performance.
Beyond the theatre, Bart’s voice lent life to ‘Young Hercules’ in Disney’s animated film Hercules, including the Academy Award-nominated song “Go the Distance.” On-screen, he’s known for roles in Desperate Housewives, 30 Rock, Revenge, and films such as American Gangster, Trumbo, and Last Vegas.
In 2020, Bart debuted as ‘Doc Brown’ in BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical to global acclaim. After wowing audiences in Manchester, the West End, and on Broadway, he earned a Tony nomination for his performance.
