Take an electrifying ride back in time
BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical is coming to the Sydney Lyric from September for its Australian Premiere. Take an electrifying ride back in time with London’s Olivier Award-winning best new musical, adapted for the stage by the creators of the original movie trilogy.
Starring Tony Award-winner Roger Bart, who originated the iconic role of Doc Brown on the West End and Broadway, alongside some of Australia’s most outstanding musical theatre performers and exciting new faces, including Ashleigh Rubenach as Lorraine Baines, Ethan Jones as George McFly, and Javon King as Goldie Wilson.
Welcome to Hill Valley! 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.
