DeLorean time travels to Memphis Orpheum
“Great Scott!” Get ready for Marty McFly and Doc Brown to take you back to 1955 in a DeLorean when “Back to the Future: The Musical” comes to Memphis.
The stage adaptation of the 1985 blockbuster film franchise follows Marty as he travels back in time and accidentally changes the future. The show blends iconic songs from the film, like “The Power of Love,” “Johnny B. Goode,” “Earth Angel” and “Back in Time,” with original numbers. The mix of sci-fi, comedy and 1980s nostalgia reimagines the material in a way that resonates with today’s audiences.
“It’s pretty close to the movie with some new songs thrown in to advance a story, but it’s just a trip back down memory lane, for those of us who remember the movie from 1985,” said Brett Batterson, president and CEO of the Orpheum Theatre.
