A Broadway Smash Hits the High Seas

Back to the Future: The Musical has already taken Broadway by storm, winning multiple awards, including the prestigious Olivier Award for Best New Musical. The stage adaptation of the beloved Back to the Future film trilogy, created by Bob Gale and directed by Tony Award winner John Rando, promises to bring high-voltage excitement to Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. Marty McFly and Doc Brown’s iconic journey through time will come to life on stage, with a dazzling mix of comedy, action, and heart that’s sure to thrill cruisers of all ages.

This adaptation of the hit movie transports audiences to 1955, where Marty accidentally alters the course of history with Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean. Now, he must race against time to set things right and return to the future. The musical features a toe-tapping score that blends original music by multi-Grammy winners Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard with hit songs from the film, such as The Power of Love, Johnny B. Goode, and Back in Time.
