Got a £25 rush ticket through Todaytix (at my first attempt!) And fit the first time this year I actually git a paper ticket from the box office!
The seat had a good view in the stalls. Although, there were regular reminders about recording and phones; it is was the first theatre this year where I didn’t see or hear any reminders that face masks are advised – probably only around a third did their bit by choosing to wear masks.
It obviously had songs added, and there were a few changes from the film – no Libyans (a different crisis was used instead), but there were many things for fans of the film to spot – including the slightly creepy (but funny for fans who know what’s coming) “mummy’s boy” aspect. They also added some funny jokes about travelling to 2020 – to see that it’s like)
The casts did great I pressions of their film counterparts.
The theatre has decorated parts of the auditorium and the foyer in a Back to the Future theme, which added to the atmosphere.
It made use of lots of effects, including conveyor belts, revolves trap doors, black curtains ( and one time this was a little bit late, blinding flashing lights, bubble machines and what I can only assume was magic at the end ( as I thought I had worked it out until a twist or 2).
9/10
