00:00My wife turned to me and said you know what make a wonderful musical back to the future
00:08It's probably the greatest creative experience of my life
00:11This is a movie that people are very very passionate about
00:15It's one of the perfect movies that ever made I grew up on these movies
00:20The magic is unreal the DeLorean is the star of the show it feels insane every night
00:27I feel like I'm on a roller coaster. We started in 2006 and in
00:332016 we were nowhere
00:40We had no idea what we were getting into no one had any musical theater experience
00:45I was truly terrified that we were going to destroy back to the future for an entire generation
00:50Somehow we've got to make a musical as good as the film
00:54It can be close to a million dollars a week to run a show. So yeah, the risks are massive.
00:59It was incredibly terrifying
01:00We did actually think about throwing in the towel with the world by
01:06Anyone other than Michael J Fox has Marty McFly Marty is Michael and that's why he's so synonymous with the
01:13role
01:13You brought it. You did a great job. Time travel complete
01:18You have to get your blocking exactly right every single time
01:22Because if not, you might get your head chopped off by a set piece
01:25Everything is choreographed very specifically all these different styles put into one musical
01:31There are sequences in that film that felt like a real challenge
01:35How are you gonna make the DeLorean do what it needs to do?
01:45It's that electric the hairs are rising on the back of your neck feeling that embodies what back to the
01:51future does for me
01:52It's something that you can't recreate and you're gonna leave with that performance for the rest of your life
01:56Even before it opened we were announcing the very first tour day
02:01Sometimes the chances seem very risky, but when they pay off they can pay off with big dividends
02:06Just exactly what musical theater is supposed to do. I couldn't be more proud
02:10And the rest is history
