Back to the Future extends at the West End’s Adelphi Theatre in London

Hit West End musical Back to the Future has added more dates to its successful run at the Adelphi Theatre in London.

The show has now extended to 3 January 2026.

The extension comes ahead of the show getting a new lead star, with American actor Caden Brauch joining the London company as Marty McFly, from 10 February 2025.

Caden has just completed performing in the US tour of Back to the Future, and takes over from Vasco Emauz who leaves on 8 February.

Now in its 4th year in London, having opened at the Adelphi Theatre in September 2021, this year also marks the 40th anniversary of the original movie, starring Michael J Fox.

The show recently closed on Broadway, and the US tour is currently running to August 2025. The musical is also playing in Germany and will open in Japan and Australia later this year.
