Three versions of Marty McFly are set to take the stage together as Back to the Future celebrates its 40th anniversary. The West End musical has been marking its milestone with a special performance featuring all three actors who have played the iconic role, Olly Dobson, Ben Joyce, and Caden Brauch.
The show will see each actor perform in alternate sections, starting with Joyce as the young Marty McFly before Brauch takes over for the middle number, and finally Dobson wrapping up the show. However, there's no solo performance by any of the actors - all three come together to bring Back in Time to a close.
Dobson, who originated the role at the Manchester Opera House in 2020, expressed his excitement at getting back into the character for one night only. For Joyce, playing Marty was "originally the highlight of my career" and he's thrilled to return to the production alongside Dobson and Brauch.
This unique performance marks a rare occasion where three versions of the same character share the spotlight on stage. Back to the Future has been bringing joy to audiences for four decades, with its 1985 release hailed as "a whiz-bang time-travel adventure" by the Hollywood Reporter.
The production's success has earned Dobson an Olivier award nomination and Joyce a WhatsOnStage award nomination, further cementing its place in musical theatre history.

, can you even imagine seeing all three versions of Marty McFly on stage together?! It's like, the ultimate fan dream come true! 
I'm so stoked for Olly Dobson, Ben Joyce, and Caden Brauch to share the spotlight as they alternate through the performance. It's gonna be so cool to see how each actor brings their own spin to the character. 
The fact that they're all coming together to close out the show is just perfect! 
I mean, who wouldn't want to experience three different Marty McFlys in one night? 
It's just another reason why Back to the Future remains an iconic musical theatre piece after 40 years on stage. 
. And can we talk about Ben Joyce and Caden Brauch too? I've been following their performances online and they both seem really talented 
It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans of the musical, and I'm sure it'll be lit 
! The fact that they're not doing solo performances but are working together to bring the show to a close is just genius. It's like they're all getting back into their time-traveling boots at the same time 
️. This 40th-anniversary celebration is going to be totally nostalgic for anyone who grew up loving the movie and musical – can't wait to see it! 
Caden Brauch is gonna bring some new energy to the show, can't wait to see him take over for Ben Joyce 
this is gonna be lit but what's up with having 3 different actors play Marty? I mean I get it, they all look like McFly, but does it really feel authentic to have three of them running around on stage? Also, I'm curious, how are the directors gonna make sure everything stays on track with 3 different visions of the character?
