'Back to the Future' musical to open in West End in 2015

A musical based on 'Back to the Future' will open in West End next year, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original film's release.
The director and the writer of the 1985 movie and its two sequels, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, are behind the project alongside director Jamie Lloyd and producer Colin Ingram, reported Digital Spy.
Songs in the musical will include 'The Power Of Love' by Huey Lewis And The News (the movie's opening song), 'Johnny B Goode' by Chuck Berry, 'Earth Angel' by The Penguins and 'Mr Sandman' by Pat Ballard.
Alan Silvestri, who wrote the original score for the films, will also collaborate with Glen Ballard on original music.

Two initial workshops will take place - one in Los Angeles in July and another in London in August - before heading to the West End in 2015.
Casting for the 'Back to the Future' musical adaptation is still to take place.
