Want to go on a little nostalgia trip? Back to the Future cast had a reunion as they came together for a Broadway musical performance on the themes of the original film. The cast looked happy and excited to get together as they posed on the red carpet at the Winter Garden Theatre where the Broadway performance was to take place. Just like a time-traveling scene out of Back to the Future, Michael J Fox could be seen coming face-to-face with his younger self. He met up with Casey Likes, the young actor who plays Marty McFly in the new Broadway musical adaptation of the classic film.
Seen in photos were Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and Lea Thompson. The whole scene was complete with a prop replica of the famous time-travelling DeLorean. The Broadway musical was organised by the Michael J. Fox Foundation as part of a benefit performance for Parkinson’s Research. Many of the cast members wore grey ribbons on the red carpet to raise awareness for Parkinson’s research.
Back to the Future: The Musical will have its official Broadway opening on August 3. What took place yesterday, July26, was a special performance put together for the alumni of the original 1985 comedy film.
After the performance, there was a special auction, and Colin Ingram (the musical’s producer) hoped to raise half a million dollars.
Back to the Future: The Musical premiered in Manchester in 2020 but was cut short due to the pandemic. Bob Gale, who wrote the original film trilogy with Robert Zemeckis, wrote the musical’s book, and original composers Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard were behind the music.
