Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Kansas City Music Hall

The show, Back To The Future, an adaptation that was much-awaited, was conceptualized back 20 years ago, when the wife of one of the creators, Robert Zemeckis, was said to be curious regarding the idea of reviving Back To The Future on a new platform. Back To The Future The Musical was ready to open in 2015, as a reference to the second part to the original motion picture (where the characters traveled forward in time to 2015), yet the musical was delayed unintentionally and ultimately premiered at the Manchester Opera House, then after a year, moved to London’s Adelphi Theater after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The stage adaptation, despite a couple of slight changes, faithfully follows the science fiction journey of Marty McFly as he goes back in time to the year 1955, 30 years prior to the story’s setting. Additionally, given the changeability of live adaptations, the adaptation was able to take advantage of creative freedoms that immensely leveled up the production. Both visually and audibly, Back To The Future The Musical has stunning execution. It utilizes the most high-tech machinery available in Broadway and delivers a sensory experience, with the scene fabrication, scene lighting, sound direction, and 3D effects all blending with each other exceedingly well. The DeLorean to be specific, (which is definitely was what the fans were waiting to see in the musical) when the car is introduced in the first act, became an unforgettable moment that audiences have raved about.

Looking specifically at the backdrop editing, Back To The Future The Musical also surely deserves much love. Video editor Finn Ross implements 3D animation in a skillful manner that every single backdrop fits as an actual and real location that sets the mood of the live sets gracefully. Finn Ross even shares how in each video backdrop “It has to look like a natural part of the musical. From time to time we would take inspiration from real-world textures, but we wished to get this slight heightening of reality to meet the degree of energy the play exists on.”

This upcoming April’s run of Back To The Future will be hosted in Music Hall Kansas City in Kansas City, on Saturday 5th April 2025. Because of a tremendously tech- heavy play, it is reasonable to say that each and every show's chosen theater has to be able to have topnotch equipment that can be found for the play. With the greatest gear from lights to audio, as well as impressive stage construction, theatergoers are sure to enjoy a flawless show.
