Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE at Adelphi Theatre

The high octane freneticism of the movie has been neatly translated into a theatrical experience with all the whimsical exuberance of the original — plus a few added layers of corny in-jokes, fantastic special effects and of course, tightly choreographed musical dance numbers.
