Back to the Future is celebrating a monumental occasion with its 40-year anniversary is upon us. For four decades (since the original film premiered in theaters), this Robert Zemeckis trilogy has entertained audiences with the perfect blend of comedy and science fiction. With quite the cult following, it was only a matter of time before a new adaptation or reboot made its way to the public, bringing this story to a new generation. It was out of this nostalgia that the Broadway hit, Back To The Future: The Musical, was born! This new musical recently stopped in Detroit while on its national tour, retelling the original Back To The Future story in a new format.

In this episode of the Box Seat Babes podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko break down all the storylines and characters that comprise the touring production of Back To The Future! With one host growing up on the film and the other having no prior knowledge, what about this show stood out to them? With many of the same beats and characters from the film, which parts translated well to the stage and which didn’t? Listen to this exciting episode to find out just what the Box Seat Babes thought of this romp through the decades in the coolest time machine ever.
