Back To The Future – Theatrical Production at Paramount Theatre Seattle

The musical, Back To The Future, an adaptation that was long overdue, was conceived way back two decades ago, when the wife of one of the creators, Zemeckis, was curious regarding the thought of the film being adapted for the stage. The musical was poised to open in the year 2015, as a reference to the follow-up film to Back To The Future (which was released in 1989), however the stage adaptation was pushed back and eventually opened at the Manchester Opera House, then after a considerable time, relocated to London’s Adelphi Theater after the recent pandemic.

The musical, besides a small number slight tweaks, shows the science fiction journey of Marty McFly as he discovers transtemporal travel to 1955, where he gets forcibly stuck. Furthermore, due to the wiggle room of live performances, Back To The Future The Musical was free to take advantage of creative freedoms that vastly improved the show. Both optically and audibly, the vibrant show has epic execution. The lively show utilizes the most modern technology possible in Broadway and delivers a sensory experience, with the set fabrication, lighting design, audio direction, and backdrop elements all complementing each other very well. The DeLorean to be specific, (which is the time-traveling car that is central to the plot) the moment the car is introduced on stage, is done so perfectly that theatergoers have highly praised.

When it comes to animation design, the groundbreaking musical also surely is on another level. Animation designer Finn Ross utilizes 3D editing quite well that each background video fits as a complementary component that blends with the live sets effortlessly. Ross also reveals that in each animation “It has to look like a natural part of the musical. Sometimes the team would consider real-world locations, but we wanted to get this sort of nostalgic feel to match the amount of zest the show is found on.”

This coming December’s production of the Back To The Future stage adaptation will be held in Paramount Theatre in Seattle, on Wednesday 11th December 2024. As a consequence of being a very technology- loaded staging, it is without a doubt that each and every run’s theater has to be able to have the best machines possible for the play. With the unrivaled machinery from lighting to audio, as well as majestic stage building, audiences are guaranteed to experience a delightful viewing.
