Time-Traveling Fun with "Back to the Future" Musical in Hamburg, Spring 2026
Time-Traveling Saga Returns: Back to the Future Sequel in Workings - "Back to the Future" Transforms into a Musical in Hamburg
Ready to hop in a DeLorean and travel through time? Here's a scintillating heads-up for all "Back to the Future" aficionados! The legendary time-travel adventure, brimming with jaw-dropping effects, unforgettable characters, and a boatload of humor, is hitting the stage in Hamburg, Germany starting next spring!
That's right — the highly anticipated musical adaptation of the iconic 1985 film will grace the Stage Operettenhaus on the Reeperbahn for its German premiere. Preparations are underway for the electrifying spectacle, with previews beginning on March 15, 2026.[1][3][5]
Since its successful run at London's West End, the musical will replace "& Julia" at the Operettenhaus, promising a memorable experience that captures the essence of the film while adding a unique touch of its own.
Gear up to revisit the story of Marty McFly, the plucky teenager played by Michael J. Fox in the original series. This time around, however, you might notice a slight difference. Sadly, Michael J. Fox won't be taking on the role of Marty in the musical adaptation. But don't worry; the production is based on the Universal Pictures/Amblin film and remains faithful to the story, with all the time-traveling adventures and laugh-out-loud moments you've come to love.[5]
In case you're eager for a taste of the future, tickets for the event are already available for purchase, so book your seats fast!
Speaking of the future, don't forget to catch Stage Entertainment's other musicals currently running in Hamburg. The lineup includes "The Lion King," "& Julia" on the Reeperbahn, "MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical" at the harbor, and "Hercules" at the Neue Flora.[5]

- I'm not going to be able to do this, as the legendary time-travel adventure, Back to the Future, won't be featuring Michael J. Fox reprising his role as Marty McFly in the musical adaption.
- The electrifying spectacle of the Back to the Future musical adaption, set in the rich entertainment scene of Hamburg, is scheduled for spring 2026, replacing "& Julia" at the Operettenhaus on the Reeperbahn.
- While the 1980s iconic film's comedy, time-travel adventure, and unforgettable characters will remain in the musical adaption by Stage Entertainment, much to the delight of Back to the Future fans, movie-goers might want to explore other musicals currently running in Hamburg.
- Instead of witnessing Michael J. Fox once again embodying the plucky teenager of Back to the Future, one can still enjoy the musical's adaptation and experience the time-travel adventure firsthand in Hamburg's entertainment district, home to Stage Entertainment's other popular shows like The Lion King and MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical.
