Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Paramount Theatre Seattle

The musical, Back To The Future, a project that was long overdue, was conceptualized way back in 2005, when the spouse of one of the writers, Zemeckis, was excited about the concept of the film being adapted for the stage. Back To The Future The Musical was set to debut in 2015, as an ode to the second part to the original motion picture (which was released in 1989), but the stage adaptation was postponed indefinitely and finally debuted at the Manchester Opera House, then after a year, transferred to London’s Adelphi Theater after the COVID outbreak.

The musical, besides a couple of slight modifications, shows the sci-fi narrative of Marty McFly as he gets transported through time to 1955, 30 years prior to the story’s setting. Additionally, due to the changeability of live performances, the adaptation was free to take advantage of creative freedoms that vastly leveled up the musical. Both visually and audially, the film-turned-musical has epic execution. It takes advantage of the most advanced equipment attainable in Broadway and delivers a sensory experience, with the stage design, lighting, audio design, and video effects all complementing one another quite well. The DeLorean to be specific, (which is certainly the most recognizable element of Back To The Future) by the time it is slid out in the first act, was a stunning representation that viewers have highly praised.

Looking specifically at the video editing, Back To The Future The Musical also definitely deserves much love. Animation editor Finn Ross uses 3D editing quite well that each backdrop serves as an almost lifelike illusion that gives more color to the live constructed sets effortlessly. Ross also mentions how in each animation “My goal was to make it lifelike. Oftentimes we would consider tangible locales, but we wanted to get this sort of nostalgic feel to go with the degree of energy the musical is found on.”

This approaching December’s season of Back To The Future will be performed in Paramount Theatre in Seattle, on Tuesday 17th December 2024. Because of an extremely technology- heavy play, it is reasonable to say that each and every show's venue has to be able to have topnotch equipment that can be found for the play. With the ultimate machinery from lights to audio, as well as impressive stage fabrication, fans are guaranteed to experience a superb musical.
