Producers John Frost, Colin Ingram and the creators of the original film trilogy Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale are thrilled to share new footage of Roger Bart and Axel Duffy as Australia’s Doc Brown and Marty McFly, following the opening of the highly anticipated Australian Premiere season of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical.
The smash-hit production, and winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, welcomed its first Australian audiences on Friday 26 September at the Sydney Lyric Theatre.
With an electrifying Australian cast led by Tony Award winner Roger Bart as ‘Doc Brown’ and newcomer Axel Duffy as Marty McFly, BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical has launched in Sydney with heart, humour and high-octane spectacle. Sydney’s Ashleigh Rubenach plays Marty’s mum Lorraine Baines, Ethan Jones is George McFly, Javon King appears as Goldie Wilson and Marvin Berry, and Thomas McGuane plays the pivotal role of Biff.
Roger Bart, who originated the iconic role of ‘Doc Brown’ on both the West End and Broadway, said, “I’m so excited for Sydney audiences to experience the show, whether through the nostalgia of revisiting the film in a whole new way, or through fresh eyes as they watch the spectacle unfold on stage. It’s always been a dream of mine to perform in Australia and having the privilege of bringing Back to the Future here – a story that has meant so much to so many people – is a true honour.”
The Australian premiere of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW.
Buckle up, Sydney — the DeLorean has officially landed. Performances are now on sale until 25 January 2026 at backtothefuturemusical.com.au.
