Pantages welcomes a new play in Los Angeles, CA. If you really want to experience a real play that makes you feel your youth back, this is your best choice. “Bach to the Future, The Musical, ” It is a combination of music and dancing. It is like a fusion of a film and a play at the same time. It is very impressive were the original songs for this production – they were well-written and performed and all had a nice tune particularly Marty McFly (Caden Brauch) and lively personality of Doc Brown (Don Stephenson). However, Burke Swanson playing George McFly as Marty’s Dad  was absolutely spot on, from the voice to the quirky movements.

This play did follow the movie script closely including some white jokes. For those who really enjoyed all the saga films made  since 1985 directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale. It stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and more. 

I was surprised when the show has good lightening and special effects. Personally, I really enjoyed the bubbles and music in one of the romantic scenes. Definitely, it is an incredibly and nostalgic play but leave with a massive smile on your face.
