'Back to the Future: The Musical' hits Tulsa stage with high-energy time travel adventure

"Back to the Future: The Musical" is bringing its high-octane, time-traveling spectacle to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center from April 15-20.

Ahead of its Tulsa run, Celebrity Attractions invited News On 6 to preview the show in Dallas at the Music Hall at Fair Park. The venue, located on the grounds of the Texas State Fair, hosted a full house of excited theatergoers — some dressed in costume — for the touring production.

The musical, based on the iconic 1985 film, blends nostalgia with theatrical magic. The cast brings familiar characters to life, including Biff Tannen, played by Ethan Rogers, who hails from Austin and says the role is especially meaningful due to his personal connection with the film.

Also in the cast is Fisher Lane Stewart, who plays multiple roles, including Marty McFly’s brother Dave and Biff’s goon Slick. Stewart, who is also the understudy for Marty, has family in Tulsa and says performing in the city is a special opportunity. With 17 costume changes and five wigs throughout the show, Stewart embraces the challenge of constantly switching roles on stage.

One of the biggest crowd-pleasers is the appearance of the DeLorean, a key feature in the movie and now part of the stage experience. The musical includes multiple versions of characters like Biff as the story jumps through time.

"Back to the Future: The Musical" recently wrapped its Broadway run, making this touring production the only way for Oklahoma audiences to see it live.
