Back to the Future, the Olivier Award-winning Best Musical, is set to close on Broadway.

The New York production opened on 3 August 2023, and has sold over $80 million of tickets during its 18 month run and 500 performances at the Winter Garden Theatre.

Back to the Future will play its final performance on Broadway on Sunday 5 January 2025.

The London production of Back to the Future, which is now in its fourth year in the West End, recently extended its run at the Adelphi Theatre to 27 July 2025.

The show stars Vasco Emauz as Marty McFly and Cory English as Doc Brown,

Earlier this week on Back to the Future Day the producers announced that a German production would open in the 2025-2026 season, with more territories soon, plus a new cut-down version for Royal Caribbean’s new cruise ship Star of the Seas.

Across its Broadway, London and North American Tour, the show has sold 2.9 million tickets worth $244 million over the last 18 months.

Producer of Back to the Future, Colin Ingram, said: “With nearly 40 percent of our audience never having seen a production on Broadway before, I’m proud that at a time when theatre is viewed by so many as being inaccessible that this show was able to bring in a new audience and it is my hope that this legacy endures and these people return to see another Broadway show in the future. We are having the same success across the North American Tour where the show has already been seen by half a million people – many also new to the theatre. We look forward to welcoming fans to the theatre with four new productions opening next year including Japan and Germany as they join our two existing productions in London’s West End (now in its 4th year) and the North American Tour.”

Back to the Future won Best New Musical at the Olivier Awards in 2022. Based on the much-loved movies, the show has a book by Bob Gale and new music and lyrics by Emmy and Grammy Award-winning Alan Silvestri and six-time Grammy Award-winning Glen Ballard, with additional songs from the film including The Power of Love and Johnny B. Goode.

The musical is directed by Tony Award-winning director John Rando (Urinetown, On The Town), alongside the multi Tony and Olivier Award-winning design team of Tim Hatley (set and costume design), Tim Lutkin (lighting), Hugh Vanstone (lighting consultant), Gareth Owen (sound) and Finn Ross (video), with choreography by Chris Bailey, musical supervision and arrangements by Nick Finlow and Illusions by Chris Fisher. Orchestrations are by Ethan Popp and Bryan Crook, with dance arrangements by David Chase. Casting is by David Grindrod CDG for Grindrod Burton Casting.

Back to the Future is playing at the Adelphi Theatre in London, booking to 27 July 2025.
