Marty McFly is a typical teenager, annoyed by his family and consumed with rock ‘n’ roll. However, when he finds himself accidentally transported back to 1955 by his friend Doc Brown’s time-travelling DeLorean, he’s in a race to make sure his highschool aged parents fall in love before he erases his own future. The musical is based on the beloved 1985 blockbuster film starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
