Better than expected. The Delorean effects were really good. They have some good deals online for tickets. Got 4 in the orchestra for a good price.
Highly recommend if you have a chance to see it.

I get not a movie. But it's based on a movie with enough changed to make it fresh. Even off Broadway the actors were really good.

Out of the 25 musical numbers they performed power of love and back in time at least twice each. Also had Huey as a chatacter in the play at the end.
So yeah.

The way they do the time machine is really cool.
Some of the best effects I've seen in a musical. Especially when it flies. They used scrims and a screen to make it look like it was driving and had beat effects when it got to 88 mph.
It didn't really drag and it did a good job with comedy and cracking random jokes.
It was easily one of the better plays I've seen at the Saenger. Up there with plays I've seen on Broadway.

Didn't know that this existed. I'm very interested, but I have two major concerns:
1) it's just too loud
2) I'm not ready for it (but my kids are liable to love it)

I went and it was great. I enjoyed the special effects with the car and lights. It worked very well for this show since it was supposed to be "futuristic". I loved how much of the dialogue was the exact wording from the movie.

It was odd not having the Libyans though. (Instead of having African terrorists shooting guns and RPGs, the musical had Doc die from radiation exposure.)

Yeah that and the Delorean needing Docs voice to work was the big change for the show. It worked but was a huge change. Also Doc didn't test the Delorean with Einstein.
