Can't see it going to the Dominion unless they alter it between Manchester and London as the Opera House stage is smaller I would think Didn’t Bat Out of Hell play the Opera House or was that the Palade? Oh yeah, it was the Opera House. |

Pretty sure I mentioned this months ago? I’ve certainly known it was happening for months I also feel like I've heard about this before 🤔 |

It was discussed at length some time ago, announced as starting at Curve then going to the Dominion, then scrapped.

The director couldn't hack it, apparently.

Official website is up. Love that the artwork is practically identical to the film’s, which will no doubt work well in its favour.

I'm so pleased this is finally happening! Although the artwork does make it look a bit cheap IMO (I know it's meant to be recreating the movie poster).
I read somewhere that Roger Bart played Doc in a workshop. I wonder if he'd cross the pond for it?

I hope this will be good, Back to the Future is my all time favourite movie series. The 2nd film is my favourite one but I'm assuming this is just the 1st film ? I'm interested to see how they do the 80's scenes and then the 50's scenes soon after. I'll definitely be getting tickets for Manchester!

Getting some good publicity today. First BBC Breakfast this morning, with a pre-recorded clip of Olly Dobson singing, and now this meet and greet (if a car can meet and greet!).
Last I heard was Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service are trying to extricate an overly-curious bear who was able to climb into the DeLorean, but can't now climb out. Growls with a Sheffield accent, apparently.

Top two prices £82 and £65 for weekends.
£70 and £60 for midweek
Usual theatrecard discounts.
Is £82 a record for a preemie seat in Manc? It’s even more if you have the nibble box!

Prices are a little crazy.
Fighting the urge to get in early for a seat, but part of me knows there'll be single seats on heavy discount, like Mormon, 6 weeks before the show.

Front row of the Gallery (upper circle) is £13, even on Saturday nights. Thats a good compromise for a little person, like me.

Forgive ignorance of the film, but does it involve that car flying? I’m just wondering what big effects we could expect to see in this.

The iconic thing is the car leaving a blazing trail on the ground as it accelerates towards the town hall and then vanishes. Now that I'd like to see done on stage. Well Saigon's Helicopter should be unemployed by then, so front end shell of a Delorean replica facing out, c02, lights and up it goes to blackout. |

I was wondering if they might be doing an Aladdin type thing with theno visible means of support.

I think Aladdin isn't touring because the mechanics being the carpet effect are too gargantuan to tour.
That said, it is doing North America, but the money behind it will be obsene.

For me the opera house has to be the stalls - the extra ticket expense is offset with not having to visit a chiropractor afterwards. Definitely intend to book for this. Hopefully it will be great! |

Got my tickets, thank goodness for ATG discount. Wasn't prepared to pay the top price of £80 though!

Just booked one of the £19.55 tickets in the Circle for the 1st Sat matinee preview. I sat in the Galley once before, it was an experience never to be repeated. I’m really looking forward to this though.

I've changed my mind on dream casting for Doc - I'd now like Peter Capaldi to do it, please and thank-you.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the car flew over the audience and then disappeared at the end. With Paul Kieve involved who knows what’s possible.
