Back to the Future the Musical - Opera House MCR / Adelphi

I dont remember ever sitting that far back to be honest. Furthest I’ve been is M or N which are great. In W you’ll lose the top of the stage because of the overhang for sure.
Stalls Row H on the side blocks have nothing in front, the extreme ends of H are second price (blue) and have unobstructed views.

Have you checked what’s on at the Palace and Lowry?

My booked seat for & Juliet (in Manchester) was on Row U. Although not terrible, the view is rather distant, and you will miss perhaps the top third of the proscenium. Of course we don't know yet, but in a musical called Back to the Future, there could be a flying car! I certainly don't think £50 is good value.

Thankfully, the ushers actively encouraged those of us sitting at the back to move forwards, so I was straight out of the blocks and relocated myself to a much, much better aisle seat on Row N.

In London, TheatreMonkey would obviously be the first port of call, but SeatPlan now cover ATG theatres out in the 'provinces', and although there aren't currently a huge number of photos for the Opera House, they may be of some help in reaching a decision.

There isn't really a good rake in the stalls. Ive sat row M and I was still peering over people's heads at times, although this shouldn't be an issue if you're over 5"7. The leg room was decent.

Stalls H is my row of choice. There’s really not much discernible difference between the preemies and second price on those side blocks but sshhh! Don’t tell people this stuff!

I’m guessing that your overnight to manc will be considerably cheaper than when we come down to that London!

Enjoy 🙂

It’s unlikely to be the Coliseum as ENO have their 2020/21 season

The show's twitter posted a clip of "It Works" in rehearsal.  Does not seem like "It Works" yet... Your views may differ (and of course allowances for rehearsal, sound recording capability - but then the show itself put this out to entice ticket purchases)It Works ... or does it?

Hmmm. Not sure this bloke's vocals particularly work!

I say just let Olly Dobson sing the lot. 

When they released his version of Power Of Love I really thought it was fantastic and got very excited about this show. And indeed him.

But every song they have released since has been so unexciting. Not awful but just deeply unremarkable and generic. Like bits of Ghost, Pretty Woman, Tootsie, every film adaptation etc etc. 

The song itself sounds rather drab, the backing vocals pointless, and Marty seems to have nothing to do other than walk around. The choreography is very "cruise ship", and I've no idea why there are only female dancers. I hope this isn't indicative of the rest of the show.

Roger Bart does seem to be playing him very young.

Isn't this the moment in the show where Doc Brown is realising his invention "works"?  I don't remember Doc being young at that moment in the film.

But Christopher Lloyd played it older.  They even turned his hair white as they wanted him to look like Einstein. 

Which is what they are going to do with Roger. He wasn't in costume or make up. The images of him in the wig and stuff has already been on twitter and stuff.

Ah, now I get it.  I stand corrected.

Although not about the backing vocals, choreography, song, and basically everything else!
