Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Keller Auditorium

Back To The Future The Musical, a stage play that was long overdue, was conceptualized back 20 years ago, when the spouse of one of the creators, Robert Zemeckis, was said to be curious regarding the concept of expanding on the legacy of the original film. It was set to open in 2015, as an ode to the follow-up film to the first movie (where the characters traveled forward in time to 2015), yet it was pushed back and eventually opened at the Manchester Opera House, then after a considerable time, transferred to London’s Adelphi Theater after the recent pandemic.

The musical, despite a small number minor tweaks, faithfully follows the science fiction trip of Marty McFly as he discovers transtemporal travel to 1955, where he gets forcibly stuck. Furthermore, because of the wiggle room of staged plays, the musical was free to take advantage of creative freedoms that immensely enhanced the production. Both optically and audially, the film-turned-musical has stunning execution. The musical utilizes the most advanced equipment attainable in Broadway and makes the whole set feel alive, with the set design, lighting, audio design, and 3D effects all blending with one another very well. The DeLorean in particular, (which is certainly the most recognizable element of Back To The Future) by the time it is slid out on stage, is done so perfectly that viewers have raved about.

Looking specifically at the video design, Back To The Future The Musical also undoubtedly deserves much love. Animation creator Finn Ross utilizes 3D editing in a skillful manner that each backdrop serves as an actual and real location that sets the mood of the live constructed sets gracefully. Finn Ross even reveals that in each video edit “There’s nothing real in there at all. From time to time we did take inspiration from tangible locations, but the production wanted to get this sort of nostalgic feel to go with the amount of energy the musical is already on.”

This upcoming June’s production of the Back To The Future stage adaptation will be held in Keller Auditorium in Portland, on Friday 19th June 2026. As a consequence of being a very equipment- loaded play, it is without question that each run’s chosen theater has to be able to have topnotch equipment that can be found for the show. With the top equipment from lighting to audio, as well as impeccable stage building, audiences are promised a flawless musical.
