Lyrics	Glen Ballard
Book	Robert Zemeckis Bob Gale
Basis	Back to the Future by Robert Zemeckis Bob Gale

Back to the Future is an upcoming musical with music and lyrics by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard and a book by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, adapted from their original screenplay. Based on the 1985 film of the same name, the show will feature original music alongside hits from the film, including "The Power of Love" and "Johnny B. Goode".

The musical was originally slated to make its world première in London's West End in 2015, the year to which the trilogy's characters travelled in Part II. However, after director Jamie Lloyd left the production in August 2014 due to "creative differences" with original trilogy creator Robert Zemeckis, the production's release date was pushed back to 2016.

During a question and answer session at a 2004 DeLorean convention, Bob Gale said that "It seems like Back to the Future would make a great Broadway show. So someday, maybe that'll happen. That's something I'd like to see." In February 2012, it was first revealed that a musical adaption of the 1985 film Back to the Future was being developed and had been explored for around eight years prior. Workshops for the musical took place in 2014, in July in London and the following month in Los Angeles, with the intention to open the show in the West End in 2015, in time for the 30th anniversary of the film.
