In mid‑July 2026 a promotional image showing the DeLorean car used in the musical’s finale was released, signaling an upcoming UK tour. A few weeks later, in early August, the production was officially launched on Royal Caribbean International’s Star of the Seas cruise ship and began its UK theatre tour, opening at the Bristol Hippodrome. The cruise‑ship version retains the original creative team, incorporates the iconic DeLorean on stage, and features cast members from earlier UK runs, with co‑writer Bob Gale overseeing adaptations for both sea and land venues.
