Of the 188 productions we hold that opened in the 2020s and carry a performance count, this is the 11th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

8 of these 20 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 12 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name, so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

These came out of a wiki table. The names arrived with the table's own cell markup on them and have been stripped back. They are not linked to person records because the identifiers in that table do not resolve to ours.

A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.

None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against Back to the Future, and nothing says which production any of them documents. Closing that join is the point of this catalogue and it is not closed yet.

Around this production

The musical originally opened in London's West End in 2021, where it became a smash hit and won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical before transferring to Broadway. The DeLorean time machine on stage actually appears to fly into the audience.
