Back To The Future, with the score edited out, and then replaced by a live orchestra playing it. How does that sound?
Plans to have a Back To The Future musical on stage in London's West End in time for the film's 30th birthday in 2015 may have hit a snag, but there's a different anniversary celebration being lined up instead.
It's been revealed that a worldwide live orchestra tour ofBack To The Future is being planned. It's being put together by IMG Artists and the Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency. It involves screening a version of the film that's had the score edited out, with the music then played live, as you might guess, by a full orchestra. The first performance will be by the 21st Century Orchestra in Lucerne, Switzerland, in May 2015.
On top of that, composer Alan Silvestri is putting together an extra 15 minutes of new Back To The Future score for the tour.
It's still early stages for the tour, so it's unclear thus far which venues on the planet have signed up to host such a screening. We'll bring you that information as soon as we have it. It'd be hugely convenient for us if they could stop off at Dudley Town Hall.
That aforementioned musical, incidentally, is still happening. It's just been delayed to 2016, as we reported here.
