BTTF: the Musical..?

[cresent34]

Wish I could say I was joking, but no:

A stage musical of hit 1980s time travel film Back to the Future is set to debut in London's West End in 2015.

Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote and directed the 1985 Michael J Fox film, will reunite with co-writer Bob Gale to pen the book for the stage adaptation.

The film saw Marty McFly (Fox) travel back to 1955 at a crucial point in his parents' high school relationship.

According to Gale, the musical will be "true to the spirit of the film without being a slavish remake".

"We intend to use music from the movie along with brand new songs to make a version of Back to the Future that is fresh, entertaining and takes advantage of all the amazing things that can now be done on stage," he said.

"We can't think of a better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film."
