A Back to the Future musical is coming to the UK and here's how to get tickets

Cult 80s classic Back to the Future is being turned into a West End musical.

The show will debut at Manchester's Opera House for a 12 week stint before moving to London.

Fans can get the first look at the musical from February 20 until May 17, with tickets for the Manchester shows going on sale through ATGTickets.com this Friday (May 24).

The musical will be based on the film of the same name, which saw Michael J Fox take on the role of time-travelling teen Marty McFly alongside eccentric inventor Dr Emmett Brown.

Known for its time-bending plots and the iconic DeLorean, much of the film is set in 1955 as Marty battles to save his parents' marriage and prevent himself being written from history entirely.

The musical will use songs from the film including 'The Power of Love' by Johnny B Goode, alongside new music and lyrics written by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard.

Marty will be played by Olly Dobson, who has previously appeared in Bat Out Of Hell and Matilda, and cast members from the original film have thrown their support behind the musical.

Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc Brown, said: "Ever since Bob Gale told me about this, I've been eagerly anticipating it and, in particular, wondering what it will be like to hear Doc Brown sing.

"So I'm really looking forward to attending the opening in Manchester to experience our wonderful movie as a musical. I'm only sorry I don't have a real time machine so that I could see it tomorrow!"
