To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the U.K. release of the Back to the Future film, the musical adaptation at London's Adelphi Theatre will feature three different actors playing Marty McFly December 3: originator Olly Dobson; subsequent Marty, Ben Joyce; and current Marty, Caden Brauch.

The three actors will play the role at various times throughout the evening.

Olivier nominee Dobson said in a statement, "Originating the role of Marty is undeniably the highlight of my career. To be stepping back into his shoes for one night only is super exciting. Let's celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film with this very special performance. Rock n roll slackers.”

Joyce added, “It’s such a thrill to return to this production and I’m so excited to perform alongside both Olly and Caden—it’s not often you get three Martys on one stage! 40 years of Back to the Future—what a legacy it has been! I’m so pleased to have been a small part of that here at the Adelphi.”
