Three Marty McFlys Take Stage Together for Back to the Future 40th Anniversary Celebration
For one night only, fans of the iconic musical will witness a rare treat - three actors playing the role of Marty McFly. On December 3rd at London's Adelphi theatre, Olly Dobson and Ben Joyce, two of the original lead actors, will share the part with current star Caden Brauch in a special celebration marking the 40th anniversary of the film's release.
The show begins with Joyce as the teenage Marty before Brauch takes over for the middle section, and finally Dobson ends in the role. All three actors will come together to perform the final number, Back in Time, a thrilling conclusion to this unique performance.
"It's such a thrill to return to this production," said Dobson, who originally performed the part at the Manchester Opera House in 2020 and later at the Adelphi's West End premiere. "To be stepping back into Marty's shoes for one night only is super exciting." Dobson won an Olivier award nomination for best actor in a musical for his portrayal.
Similarly, Joyce expressed his enthusiasm for performing alongside Dobson and Brauch, saying, "I'm so excited to perform alongside both Olly and Caden – it's not often you get three Martys on one stage!" His performance earned him a WhatsOnStage award nomination for best takeover.
This unique guest appearance is part of the show's celebrations, which also included a cameo from fashion expert Gok Wan as Principal Strickland. The special event follows in the footsteps of other musicals, such as Les Misérables and Wicked, which have brought together stars to mark their anniversaries.

. Three Marty McFlys is like, a dream come true for any fan of the movie! Olly, Ben, and Caden are all talented actors who are gonna bring some serious energy to the stage. I mean, can you imagine seeing one Marty then another, like they're playing off each other? 
But at the same time, I'm also a bit skeptical about how it's all gonna work out...I mean, three guys in one costume is just begging for some wardrobe malfunctions 
or tripping accidents on stage. Still, if anyone can pull it off, it's these three talented actors and their awesome team 
. Fingers crossed they make it a night to remember! 
can't wait to see the magic happen on december 3rd!!! 
The fact that it's part of the show's celebrations is just awesome – it shows how much they care about their fans. I'm definitely going to try to score tickets for this!
It's just gonna be a mess of nostalgia overload and I'm not even a fan of the movie (don't @ me).
! And can you imagine how much fun they'll have performing that iconic final number together? Back in Time is gonna be lit 
I'm so down for this! Three Martys on stage? That's like, a dream come true for me! 
I'm also curious, how do they decide who plays which part of the show - is it a random draw or do they have some kind of secret handshake 
? Can't wait to see this performance and find out! 
. I'm so here for this 40th anniversary celebration, it's a great way to honor the classic film and its iconic characters 
. I've seen the show before and I know how energetic the performances are, but having three of them on stage at once? That's just going to be EPIC!!! 
. and caden brauch better not mess up back in time 
, that's a big number! still, this sounds like an epic celebration and i'm here for it
