Back To The Future The Musical will be appearing in Ohio this approaching January! For both young and old audiences visiting Columbus, get ready for a highly energetic viewing as the leading time-traveling film-turned-musical will be hosted in Ohio Theatre on Friday 9th January 2026 for a limited time only.
Marty McFly's funny yet emotional journey that has long remained a favorite of many generations of people, has transcended time itself; stemming from the late '80s motion picture with the same name, the stage adaptation relives the life that was lived before, specifically in the '50s and '80s, and is full of references to not only one of the best distinguishable movie releases in history, but also the music, outfits, and technology which surrounded the two unique years.
Back To The Future could be thought of as vintage, but audiences can expect a revolutionary experience in theater! Get your seats to the approaching showing of this live adaptation and do it now!

Recalling and revisiting the years 1955 and 1985, Back To The Future was a box office hit when it was was shown in movie theaters. Its plot, Despite being future-looking during its release, was seamlessly able to cover the differing 1980s and '50s lifestyles but still maintaining its science fiction trope and incorporating features of innovative technological advancements.
The way Back To The Future was written enabled the creators, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, to not just carry on the first movie and extend it into a film franchise, but also significantly expand the divergence of this classic story to a new kind of fan base – theater viewers. The suggestion for a live revamp was hinted at to Robert Zemeckis in 2005, and after extensive development, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale were eventually ready to open The stage adaptation of Back To The Future after more than a decade.
As one of the most technology-reliant new plays in current long list of musicals, the play had the freedom to apply modifications that would appeal to its younger audience and make use of the updated technology, which at the time of Back To The Future was unlikely. As a live adaptation, it has better pacing in its story beats and is also quite engaging because of the live version appearing more organic than watching on a screen. With actual performers, scenes, and live fan feedback, the liveliness in each run is invariably the truest it can be. The way the story is told is also changed slightly; since the stage adaptation is now in this decade, the show chooses to put the spotlight on celebrating what comes next in place of remembering the past.
The limited season of Back To The Future's musical adaptation in Ohio also inspires the future of stagecraft, having Ohio Theatre in Columbus as its chosen venue to host the show.
