Berko review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL
by Roy Berko 16 Jun '24

16 Jun '24

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL will delight anyone who loves farcical, outlandish and quirky stories and who has a special liking for special effects. Don’t expect a deep thought-provoking tale or sublime music. This isn’t a show for that. Go! Sit back and enjoy the overdone hijinks! Escape from reality! Laugh, clap and jump up at the end for the required standing ovation!* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
