A staged, musical adaptation of Back to the Future is headed for London’s West End, BTTF.com reports.The show, which will feature Alan Silvestri’s score, songs from Huey Lewis and the News as well as new music, apparently made its way forward in time when Marty traveled to the future in Back to the Future Part II, as it will debut in 2015, thirty years after Marty first encountered those crazed Libyan terrorists and ended up stranded in 1955.According to the fan site, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale are currently working with Universal Stage Productions, London-based producer Colin Ingram and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment to develop the show. 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.It was ten years ago that the fim’s co-writer, Bob Gale, first mentioned the possibility of a stage show…at a gathering of DeLorean enthusiasts.
