Olly Dobson and Ben Joyce return to BACK TO THE FUTURE THE MUSICAL for one night only
It has been announced that BACK TO THE FUTURE The Musical’s acclaimed alumni cast Olly Dobson and Ben Joyce will make a special return to the production as Marty McFly to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the UK film release at the Adelphi Theatre on 3 December.
Both Olly Dobson and Ben Joyce will join the current Marty McFly, Caden Brauch, for this very special performance, where all three will play the role throughout the evening.
Olly Dobson said: "Originating the role of Marty is undeniably the highlight of my career. To be stepping back into his shoes for one night only is super exciting. Let's celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film with this very special performance. Rock n roll slackers.”
Ben Joyce said, “It’s such a thrill to return to this production and I’m so excited to perform alongside both Olly and Caden – it’s not often you get three Marty’s on one stage! 40 years of Back to the Future - what a legacy it has been! I’m so pleased to have been a small part of that here at the Adelphi.”
