Back to the Future was shockingly well done. We had no idea how they'd turn it into a musical, but they did a great job. Not the best musical in the world, but a solid B+ that anyone who enjoys the movies will delight in. Honestly shocked it didn't win any technical awards at the Tonys, the set design was suburb and the special effects were well done. Even the cheesiest part of Doc running up the clock tower near the end was properly leaned into for humorous effect.
Favorite Easter Egg: The opening to Act 2 has a bunch of nods to the two sequels. It also had a Tardis, which immediately made my day as I own this t-shirt.

So today marks 10 years that Hamilton has been on Broadway. Looking forward to the celebration.

And while in New York, some brief reviews.
Saw The Book of Mormon Sunday- really funny. And very much a South Park roast of the religion. It will stay on broadway for some time to come, for sure.
Saw Hells Kitchen on Monday- which was written a lot by Alicia Keys, it’s her rough life experience and has a lot of her music. Even though we are not huge fans of hers, we like her music, and really enjoyed this musical. Lots of movement, and a lot of great singing by the cast. Especially the mom, we have to say.
Tuesday was for Maybe Happy Ending. A very charming story, and it feels like what it is- Korean art. It also had a strong feel of animated film, in a very good way. I don’t see this staying for too many years, though.
