Back To The Future The Musical runs at Edinburgh Playhouse from Wednesday 2 December 2026 to Saturday 2 January 2027.
The ATG calendar lists the run, with tickets available and prices starting at £19.85 on the opening date. That gives the Playhouse a big Christmas-season title, and it is the sort of booking likely to appeal to both regular theatre audiences and people who know the film first.
The show is based on the original Back to the Future story, with Marty McFly, Doc Brown and the DeLorean all part of the pitch. In theatre terms, the draw is the combination of familiar material, large-scale staging and a long festive run with plenty of booking options.

What To Expect
This is a full-scale theatre production rather than a small nostalgic tribute. The title carries a built-in audience because the film is so well known, but the stage version also works as a mainstream, family-friendly musical in its own right.
The long December-to-January run matters too. It makes the show easier to book than a one-night event, especially if you are trying to fit a theatre trip around Christmas shopping, visiting family, or a festive city break.
Edinburgh Playhouse is the right sort of venue for it. It is large enough to handle a production that depends on spectacle and visual effects, so this should feel like a major seasonal theatre event rather than a smaller touring stop.
Tickets & Entry
Tickets are listed through the official ATG Tickets event page. Ticket availability can change, so check the live listing before booking.
Performance times vary over the course of a long run like this, so check your chosen date carefully. If you want a festive weekend or school-holiday performance, those are often the dates that go first.
Location
The musical takes place at Edinburgh Playhouse on Greenside Place, near the Omni Centre, Leith Walk and the east end of Princes Street.
Getting There
Edinburgh Waverley is about 10 minutes away on foot. St Andrew Square tram stop is nearby and offers a direct link to the West End, Haymarket and Edinburgh Airport.
Our Tips
- Check the exact performance time and date before travelling, especially during the festive period.
- If you want a weekend or holiday date, it is worth booking earlier than usual.
- The tram and Waverley are usually easier than city-centre parking for Playhouse shows.
