Great Scott! Perfect for visiting family, kids, and '80s-nostalgic adults alike, the Broadway tour of Back to the Future: The Musical is playing at the Pantages through Dec. 1 and then heads south to Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa from Dec. 26 through Jan, 5. I saw the show in London last fall and while it sticks mostly to the film’s story (and avid fans will definitely sit there and point out all the overlaps and differences for you), it thrives on its breaks from the movie with some truly out-there numbers that had me dancing in my seat. And I won’t spoil it, but the special effects rival a ride at Universal Studios.
