Press Release: "Back to the Future: The Musical" Dazzles at Denver Center for the Performing Arts
Denver, CO—“Back to the Future: The Musical” has landed at the Buell Theatre, bringing a rush of nostalgia to superfan theatergoers. Attendees were quickly transported back to their childhood memories as the iconic score filled the air, setting the stage for a two-hour and 35-minute journey through Hill Valley with Marty McFly, played by Caden Brauch.
The musical experience was immersive, featuring spot-on recreations of notable locations, such as the Twin Pines Mall and Hill Valley High School. Despite initial concerns about deviations from the beloved film—like omitted characters and changes to Doc Brown’s portrayal, played by Don Stephenson—the audience was encouraged to appreciate the adaptation.
The stunning set design and costumes effectively evoked the 1980s, with extras donning period-appropriate attire, enhancing the overall nostalgia. The use of innovative video projectors and a rotating stage created a dynamic portrayal of the DeLorean, leaving viewers awestruck as it appeared to soar into time.
Musically, the show mixed original songs with classics, leading to moments of tension as fans wondered if iconic tracks like “Power of Love” would be included. While some original numbers were entertaining, the recognizable tunes in the second act, including “Earth Angel” and “Johnny B. Goode,” ultimately elevated the performance, culminating in a high-energy finale.
With a standout performance by Cartreze Tucker as Goldie Wilson, “Back to the Future: The Musical” is a delightful tribute to the original film. The show runs through February 9, leaving audiences longing to revisit the film trilogy and recapture their favorite moments. Tickets are available now for those eager to relive their time-traveling adventures.
