The show stalls out at times, but not when Roger Bart's Doc Brown is behind the wheel.
While Likes and the rest of the cast possess the pipes needed to carry a Broadway musical, the songs themselves are a mixed bag, working best when they comment slyly and poke fun at both the characters and setting.
A few other songs are just plain fun, as when Jelani Remy rocks the house as a pre-mayor Goldie Wilson with his high energy soda pop shop ditty "Gotta Start Somewhere," and Bart celebrates cracking the time travel code with "It Works." But there are also plenty of numbers — written by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard — that will be forgotten as easily as Pepsi Free. The show may not need roads where it's going, however it could use some catchier tunes.
But can we talk about the car? Put simply, the car is awesome. It also serves as the show's biggest not-so-secret weapon. Brought to life through a combination of lights, smoke, video screens, and, yes, fire — the DeLorean brings all of the magic from the screen to the stage, and by the end of the show, audiences will truly believe a car can fly.itself never quite hits 88 miles an hour.
