GREAT SCOTT!! BTTF.com have been given confirmation from Universal that Back to the Future The Musical is set to hit the stage to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the greatest movie ever made (I may be somewhat biased there!).
According to the information, music will include those favourites from the movie by Huey Lewis & The News that appear in Back to the Future Part II and Part III. According to the report, London-based producer Colin Ingram who worked on Ghost – The Musical and Steve Spielberg himself will be working to develop the show brought to us by Universal Stage Productions who worked on the likes of Wicked and Billy Elliot.
Here’s what we know:
It will be produced with Donovan Mannato and CJ E&M. The new musical will have a book by Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale and Jamie Lloyd, and new music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, with additional music from the film by Huey Lewis & The News, Chuck Berry, Pat Ballard and Curtis Williams, including ‘The Power of Love’ and ‘Johnny B. Goode’. The production will be directed by Jamie Lloyd, with set and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, illusions by Paul Kieve, lighting design by Jon Clark, and musical supervision by Alan Williams. Andrew Willis will be skateboard consultant.
Bob Gale first publicly hinted at the idea of a Back to the Future musical nearly ten years ago while making a guest appearance at the biennial DeLorean Car Show & Convention in June 2004.
Johnny, it’s sure gonna be good! More as we get it!
