Back to the Future: The Musical Going on Tour

Back to the Future: The Musical will kick off a national tour at Cleveland’s Playhouse Square June 11-July 7, 2024. It will continue to the Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, July 9-21. The tour will tech and play preview performances at Proctors in Schenectady, New York, June 4-6.

The announcement of a national tour is rare for a new musical that has yet to open on Broadway. The complete cast for the Broadway run of Back to the Future, which is set to begin performances at the Winter Garden on June 30, was only revealed last week. Of course, upending our traditional notions of time is what the show is all about. You can see a video of Broadway stars Roger Bart and Casey Likes announcing the tour below.
