    We went to see Back to the Future the musical. What a wonderful experience, the staff were friendly and helpful, there is a good selection of drinks and snacks. The show itself is amazing. The actors were all fantastic, the songs fit really well, the effects used were really impressive. A must see if you love Back to the Future and enjoy musicals.

    I went to see Back to the Future The Musical. An absolutely amazing show for people of all ages. Brilliant version of the original 80s classic movie. The film that you want to see very well recreated, plus some new and funny additions plus loads of music and dance to boot. Cast and musicians were fantastic and stage production and effects are amazing. Well worth going and great value for money.

    We saw Back to the Future here in October 2022 and it was brilliant. We loved the show. We sat in the front of the Dress Circle and had a great view onto the stage. The cast, songs, sets and special effects are amazing. They added nice touches to the theater for the show, like the Plutonium Bar, giant clock, posters and signage. Seats were comfortable. Wonderful experience and a great night out.

    The theater is wonderful. They did a great job decorating it for back to the future! Also bttf is a great musical! Go watch it. You won't be disappointed! And remember: If there is a long restroom line, there might be a shorter one just one floor up 😉.

    Thoroughly enjoyable visit to watch Back To The Future - The Musical. Lovely Theatre, comfy seats, lucky to have a great view from near th3 middle of row E in the stalls. Fantastic performances and as well as the actors, as some reviews said, "the car was the star". Amazing staging.

    Came to see back to the future today. You queue in different lanes outside before entering. Upon entering our tickets were checked and you have access to the large bar area and other eatery, visit the toilet before the show as they get VERY busy during the interval. The show itself was amazing, actors were great, although sitting on row A did mean we were tilting our heads up sometimes and couldn't quite see the back of the stage. The staff were friendly finding your seats and made it very clear when we could film the final part of the show! Would 100% recommend!!

    Back to the Future The Musical. An absolutely terrific show for people from 9 to 99 (including those who are 55, 85 and 88 (mph)). Brilliant version of the original 80s classic movie. All the bits from the film that you want to see recreated, plus some new and funny additions plus loads of music and dance to boot. Cast and musicians were fantastic and stage production and effects are amazing. The behind the scenes crew deserve a medal too. Front of house staff polite and helpful. Well worth going and great value for money.

    Went to see BTTF the musical on 21/Aug/2023. First of all I was seriously impressed with the cleanliness of the theatre and the staff were friendly. Next was the leg room and comfort of the seats. I'm 6ft 5 and was worried about the legroom, but sitting in the stalls, row G, seat 34, I couldn't have picked a better seat. The view was fantastic, just couldn't see the full of the left hand side of the stage but could see everything else which, it seemed like all the action was happening from anyway. The set pieces were incredible and seriously detailed. But, where it really gets the 5* is the performance from the cast. Unreal show, great humour and amazing sound of the band and vocals of cast. For a person who doesn't really do musicals but is a big back to the future fan, this was an amazing day out for me.

    First time for us visiting the Adelphi when we came to London for a short break, and we went to see the amazing back to the future. The venue in its current form dates back to the 1930s with an art deco style. The outside exterior isn't overly elaborate or huge, but it has a lovely entrance to the lobby. The theatre hall is compact/small in regards to space and seating, if you are tall or well built you could find the seats a little restricted in leg and arm room, however this is to be expected for the age of the building. Which adds to the experience rather than takes away for it with a seating capacity of around 1400. We sat in the middle of the dress circle and had a good view of the stage with very few issues of visibility during the course of the musical. The staff were all friendly and helpful with bars for refreshments available before and during the interval. The upper toilets were small, but again, this was probably due to available space within the structure. As for the musical itself, BTTF, it was amazing! The stage was decorated brilliantly to get you into the feel of being immersed into the story straight away. The music pit added to the amazing sound during the show and the stage set production was first class. With a front screen coming down at times to create some breathing taking effects as the delorian moved gracefully around the stage to produce jaw dropping moments that had us all on our feet at the end to give the cast a well deserved standing ovation. Couldn't recommend enough, catch it while you can.

    We had the most amazing time watching Back to the future the musical at the Adelphi Theatre. We loved the whole decoration and set up of the whole theatre. The show was out of this world the acting and singing was fantastic but the actual screen work, pyrotechnics and sets were outstanding. Definitely reccommend we took our 5 and 9 year old and they loved every minute 😍

    A great theatre with such amazing set and a fantastic show! I would recommend trying to get stall seats towards the front if you are going to see Back to the Future the musical. It feels like you’re in the show, but it may be quite loud at times. The legroom was very spacious and the seats were quite comfortable.

    Spent a Saturday Afternoon watching the excellent back to the future. Has a great time being over 6 foot leg room can be an issue but was comfortable enough for the show which is just over two and a half hours long. During the interval it was easy to move and use the facilities.

    Went to see Back to the future. Absolutely brilliant show. One of the very best I have gone to see...and I have seen a lot. Stunning sets and special effects that did not over Shadow the superb actors. Every routine was brilliant. Action, hilarious humour, total spectacle and just fabulous dancing and singing. What a brilliant bunch!!! As well as all the incredible staff who also made it happen. Adelphi theatre has always been one of my favourite theatres and again has not let a beautiful show done. Highly recommend to everyone to go and see. London Covent garden was beautiful and so busy. Amazing place as always

    Such a fun musical at Adelphi Theatre. The seats were well sloped which is great because even if there is a tall person sitting in front of you, the view is not too obscured. The sound wasn’t the best where I sat (dress circle), but I am very happy overall. Would recommend it to anyone.

  • 5/5 Bhavin N. 8 months ago on Google
    Wow - honestly one of the best things I’ve ever seen. A masterpiece and something that will live long in the memory. If you are a fan of the movie you have to see this show. The actors, the music, the lighting, the amazing special effects and the superb finale (you will need to see it to believe it) made this a truly spectacular event. It was true to the original movie but had some excellent comedic moments to make the time go so quickly. This was the first musical I’ve ever seen and I couldn’t have picked a better one. As for the theatre itself, it’s big enough that it can accommodate a lot of people but at times it can feel distant especially from the dress circle. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. The seats were comfortable but the legroom could be better. Seriously - you should not miss out on this show.

    Having watched Back To The Future: The Musical at the Adelphi Theatre on October 5th, 2023, I must say it was an excellent production that skillfully brought back waves of nostalgic memories. The cast delivered outstanding performances, and the story closely followed the beloved film, incorporating all the pivotal scenes. While I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, I left the theater thoroughly impressed and far from disappointed.

    Had a great evening at Back to the Future: The Musical. A fun show that the whole family enjoyed. Brilliant staging and special effects. Theatre staff were also very friendly and welcoming (much appreciated).

  • 5/5 Leigh S. 2 years ago on Google
    The Adelphi is a really enjoyable theatre to visit with good bar options and friendly staff. The Stalls really absorb you into the action on the stage and it is worth the cost of grabbing the premium seats either in the first eight rows. After that you do get the overhang from the dress circle which closes off your field of view somewhat. We went to see Back To The Future here and the experience was just amazing. The cast have truly embodied and nailed the characters while the sound and visual effects are stunning. The entire production is one the team should be rightly proud of collectively deserve the awards that have been won.

    So much energy and fun. Exactly what back to the future should be. You can see the actors are having a blast. What was incredible were the costume changes after each musical performance was crazy. Marty nails it and Doc is incredible and makes it his own. Loved it
