“When it’s facing towards you you hear more of the engine. When it spins around you hear more of the exhaust pipes.”
Cool tech for sure, but they forgot one thing.
The Delorean is a rear engine car… 😉

wow you think you're so clever
Shut up nerd.
This Musical needs to be released on home media like DVD, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix so that fans can go back in time and relive this great show
There are admittedly great releases for home media of various stage plays, but ... often the people making them either try "too hard" to make it a more "movie-like" experience with multiple camera angles etc. ... or they don't try at all which - also isn't exactly an ideal experience, since home sofa - even on a huge screen - doesn't usually translate properly. IMHO, the beauty of stage plays is the way they work with the limitations of the physical space they have. In B2TF-musical e.g., the way they're using the car prop alongside the clocktower "set" is ... purely magical thing that they've made amazing on stage. But I don't see it translating to screen too well without some huge changes.
While I wholeheartedly agree that they should make a video release of the show - since many people simply will never have the means to attend a live performance and ... I feel bad for them - it must be stated that stage productions are *best* experienced the way they've originally been planned for; on stage. If you can, go see it. You won't be disappointed. Even if stage plays normally aren't for you :)
True, @@uttula. Although, I think that would work with this show.
No, this musical needs to tour the uk
Umm… it has been playing in London’s West End since 2021… productions of this scale are no rock bands - touring is generally not a good fit.
It will be, sweetie. Just let them make their money from Broadway first.
Universal should hire them to create this as a new trackless ride that they got rid of years ago.
Very cool that Unreal Engine is being utilized on Broadway.
Yeah cinema effects. Almost like they could have just left the movie alone.
I just saw this on Broadway today!! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! 😍😍😍 I couldn’t even believe what I was seeing. Definitely recommend this show 🙂
I have tickets already here in Cleveland. My kids love the movie and one is in drama club at school, so I think they will love it and so will I.
I freaking LOVED this on stage. It's absolutely stunning. I had a custom hoverboard tie made to wear when I went 😂
They put on a fantastic show! Went opening night on Broadway in NYC. Such a great show.
BTTF is my all time favorite movie, so obviously I went into this play with a lot of skepticism and trepidation.
I’m happy to say that my fears were misplaced. I enjoyed this play so much, I’m going to see it again when it comes to Charlotte.
It was amazing! Mind blown. Saw it on Broadway and planning to see it again on tour.
This show was amazing I loved how much effort was put into it .. I felt so connected with the show & its characters.. such a thrill .. I will be back once more with another friend.. the freaking car drove over the crowd & did a spin .. the buildings on stage & everything felt like I was watching it from the perspective of someone going through it along side them like I was on stage myself.. I recommend you go see it if u get the opportunity
It was perfect, perfect! Everything, down to the last minute details.
This looks so cool, I HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS SHOW! It's playing at my favorite Broadway theatre, too: the mighty Winter Garden!!
Here Here! For the mighty Winter Garden! At last, someone who seems to know their theatres. The interior auditorium is shaped like an oval platter and has the widest stage in town. "42nd St." was never the same when it transferred first to the Majestic and then to the St. James. My fave too (right after the Richard Rodgers, formerly the 46th St. Theatre--the one house to hold more Best Musical Tony winners than any other place.)
I remember watching in London last year or the year before great work so much effort when the car lifted up at the end and span around and all I was amazed Greer job 👍
I watched this in London and loved how the mesh made the 88 mph shame it was only a few bits
I have been to Back to the Future’s musical 20 times.
Me 21...
Is this show really on Broadway? Because I just watched last month in London. Even the actors looked exactly the same as those footages. One of the best shows I've been btw.
I’ve also seen the London version - it’s not the same cast.
Great
They did this at a Universal Studios show 20 years ago.
i didnt know this was a thing until now lol oooh and they used unreal engine too!
I'm curious how the SFX on Broadway compare to the London production. I saw it on the West End last year and it was fantastic.
I wish i could wash this on broadway but :( im from the uk and dont have the cash to come out just to watch this show it would be at least around 2grand to even think about it more if i take somebody with me lol shame lets hope they do this in london on the west end sometime
It’s in London and has been since 2020
still thinking about how they made the delorean fly.
What is the fascinating in making musicals of things that didn't need a musical made and we're great in their own right... oh yes... money!
remember to bring bobert to the show
What about how it flies?
just a harness prolly
@@Nancy-salesa lot more than that..
I wanna know this too!
@@mollycblaeser so far what I’ve been able to figure out is the car that flies is separate from the one on stage and has a rig attached to the back.
The bottom of the car has a circular mount that can spin it 360. Below that it attaches to an arm that can spin it 360 to invert, that arm most likely also can retract and expand leading it to go off stage.
It’s nothing with wires, etc. it’s something that probably lockes into the stage with the knife pins and then can move off stage quickly enough for curtain call.
It also is engineered to be small as it’s doing to be used on Tour.
Company who developed BTTF did this. th-cam.com/video/-PgzygbmHk8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0tuo4Ik_WN2RjSJf
So when are we going to get Godfather the musical?
I mean I have been waiting for Apocalypse Now and Schindlers List the musicals for like 5 ever at this point. Lets go come on come on.
Don't laugh, those shows may materialize.
Don’t forget Pulp Fiction the musical, Fight Club the musical and Silence of the Lambs the musical.
How do they make it disappear?
Doors
I’m pretty sure that it’s a simple curtain. If you pay attention to how the effects are layered, the top of the background screen goes black that’s when I think a black curtain starts to come down to just a few feet above the car. Meanwhile, the sides and the top of foreground are displaying lighting effects. Then there’s a blackout, the curtains come down the rest of the way and swoosh! fire effect. My best guess. I love when they show bts! To me knowing how something like this works and watching it be executed flawlessly is more impressive! Peoples creativity is the true magic.
@@jjperceval In the video you can see the gap (a line of light) between the doors that are at the back of the stage. It may be made out of curtain or physical doors but in the end it blocks the view of the car in the back of the stage.
@@Buc_Stops_Here I thought that at first, too… but I'm pretty sure that's the pole/hook from the car (to catch the line from the clocktower) that is left hanging.
@@FlyByNightBBQ It is a pretty even line of light if you stop the video. Of even width. If it was pole as you state unless it was perfectly vertical in the center it would not match that line. But it is possible, however slight that is.
Lot of British accents for something on Broadway...
all this footage was in london
@@kevinwoolford123 I take it its transferring to the usa then?
@@TCJones Already has. It's currently open on Broadway and the West-End.
The London cast all do perfect American accents. Obviously, ditto for the Broadway cast. But the British theatre craftspeople are some of the best in the world, and the show raises the bar as to what's possible to do on stage.
The amount of money invested in something that’ll not last .. mind boggling.
Oh please tell us more oh wise future teller
@@davidcohen9016 I think, I mean I hope, this was meant in a positive way by OP, saying that a musical only lasts for a couple of years and then in contrast to a movie it's just gone.
People like you are exhausting
BttF the musical's been going for 4 years so far in the UK with no sign of stopping 👍
shut up
The effects were great the songs forgettable
Maybe pay attention to the show when you're watching it?
@@CarloRufinoSabusap maybe realise people have different opinions to yourself? Actually is your reply even real? You're butt hurt someone thought the musical score was average at best compared to other shows? Interesting. Lol.
maybe 50% of them
@@Efoure4 K.
I could tell you this would be the case and I haven’t seen it.
Good lord. It’s not revolutionary. I knew what it would look like before starting the video. Broadway has clearly run out of good ideas.
It looks a lot better in person. They've purposely not shared what it really looks like.

Effing gross. Could not care less. Go to Disneyworld. Oh, that’s right…..they took over Broadway. Children’s theatre has destroyed Broadway,
