Overview
- A Future on Stage, which debuted Tuesday on Prime Video, Apple TV and YouTube, documents how Back to the Future: The Musical was created and brought to stages worldwide.
- The feature includes new interviews with Michael J. Fox, director Robert Zemeckis and writer-producer Bob Gale, along with Broadway leads and key creatives from the show.
- Nacelle produced the film with Brian Stillman directing, and Brian Volk-Weiss, Bob Gale, Cisco Henson and Stillman credited as executive producers.
- The documentary tracks the musical’s rise after debuts in Manchester and London, its Olivier Award win, Tony-nominated Broadway run, and its U.S. tour with productions in Tokyo and Hamburg and plans for Edinburgh and Paris.
- Fan sites touted a “new film” with Fox, yet no new Back to the Future feature has been announced, and this project focuses on the musical’s making rather than a sequel or reboot.
