When Is the 'Back to the Future' Reboot Out In Theaters?

The Back to the Future reboot will soon be racing into theaters at 88 miles per hour…

For a long time, it was hard to believe that the Back to the Future Trilogy would ever be rebooted, but now, a reboot of the original 1985 film starring Michael J Fox (Marty McFly) and Christopher Lloyd (Doc Emmett Brown) is set to hit theaters this summer, starting in New York City, and then taking the rest of the States by storm in 2024.

We are, of course, referring to Back to the Future: The Musical (2020), the adaptation of the 1985 film. The show has been wowing audiences at the Adelphi Theater in London’s West End for some time now, and though it was recently given an extension until October this year, it will be simultaneously playing on Broadway in a few months’ time.

Performances will begin at the Winter Garden Theater on June 30, ahead of the official opening night on August 3. Recently, the show announced its full cast, with all but two of the West End actors being replaced. And next year, it will launch a “North American summer tour”, with performances starting at Playhouse Square in Cleveland in June.

Back to the Future (1985) stars Michael J Fox (Marty McFly), Christopher Lloyd (Doc Emmett Brown), Lea Thompson (Lorraine Baines-McFly), Crispin Glover (George McFly), Thomas F Wilson (Biff Tannen), Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker), James Tolkan (Principal Strickland), Marc McClure (Dave McFly), and Wendie Jo Sperber (Linda McFly).

Back to the Future probably won’t ever get a sequel, however, stars of the film Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd previously suggested that a gender-swapped reboot could work.
