**1.** *Back to the Future* is such a classic; would you say playing Marty McFly is a dream role?
**Olly**: YES. Marty was one of my idols growing up, so to get the chance to play him is mad. I feel incredibly lucky.
**2.** Do you have any other dream roles; musical, film or otherwise?
**O**: Bobby in Company. Hands down.
**3.** For those who haven’t seen *Back to the Future* on stage, what makes this adaptation work so well?
**O**: It’s the same amazing story told by the same amazing characters. This time, though, we’ve got a whole lot of new and incredible songs and ground-breaking special effects. Oh, and there’s a freakin’ DeLorean on stage… not to mention that **Alan Silvestri** and **Glen Ballard** have written the score for the ENTIRE show. The beautiful score that’s evident throughout the film? Yeah, we’ve got it all.
**4.** Back to the Future The Musical has a mix of classic songs from the film and brand-new ones; which is your favourite to perform?
**O**: Definitely ‘Johnny B. Goode’. (But if **Hugh Coles** is reading this, it’s ‘Put Your Mind To It’) :D
**5.** You had gotten to perform the show for a few weeks in Manchester earlier this year; how would you describe the reaction from the audience?
**O**: WILD.
**6.** If you had to play another character in the show, other than Marty, who would you play and why?
**O**: It's Lorraine. She’s fearless.
**7.** You’re performing opposite **Roger Bart** who plays Doc Brown; the chemistry between both characters is so key to the show, how’s the journey been working together?
**O**: It's a blast: he's so playful onstage and brings something new to the show every night. That is honestly any actor's dream. He's such a cool dude and has taught me so much and I can't wait to keep learning.
**8.** We all can’t wait for *BTTF* to open next year, what do you think makes theatre and live entertainment so special?
**O**: Watching your favourite film on a Friday night with a takeaway is awesome, don’t get me wrong. However, experiencing live theatre/music/whatever and sharing that feeling with the people onstage and the rest of the audience is unparalleled. It’s unique.
**9.** What excites you most about getting to perform on stage again in *BTTF*?
**O**: Being with the company again. I made friends for life in such a short space of time and then it all ended so abruptly. Seeing their faces again is gonna be amazing.
**10.** In three words, why should people get their tickets for *Back to the Future The Musical*?
**O**: RENT AND BILLS. I’m joking. FOR THE ECONOMY. I’m joking again. The answer is ROCK 'N' ROLL.
