Back to the Future The Musical is heading to Liverpool

Get ready to rev your engines – Back to the Future The Musical has announced its first ever UK tour and it’s stopping off in Liverpool for a four-week run at the Empire Theatre in early 2027.

The smash-hit show, based on the legendary 1985 film, will arrive in the city from Tuesday 12 January to Saturday 6 February 2027.

Currently in its fifth year in London’s West End, the musical has already been seen by more than 2 million people at the Adelphi Theatre and has become a worldwide sensation. Productions are running in North America, Japan and even on Royal Caribbean cruises, with more to come in Australia and Germany.

Producer Colin Ingram said:

“I’m so delighted that the DeLorean will be travelling 88mph to all the main theatre cities in the UK. Audiences are going to have such a fun and thrilling ride in a show which will tour in all its glory and be one of the biggest sets to come out on the road.”

The musical features a book by Bob Gale, co-creator of the original film trilogy, and brand-new music by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, alongside classic songs from the movie including The Power of Love and Johnny B. Goode.

Directed by Tony Award-winner John Rando, with an award-winning creative team behind the spectacular staging, the show promises to deliver the full cinematic adventure on stage.

The original film, starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown, celebrates its 40th anniversary this year – making the tour announcement perfectly timed for fans.

Tickets for Back to the Future The Musical at Liverpool Empire Theatre go on general sale at 10am on Wednesday 10 September 2025, with ATG+ members able to book now.
