Brent Lang Executive Editor Casey Likes has been cast as Marty McFly in “Back to the Future: The Musical,” which is coming to Broadway this spring. He joins the previously announced Tony Award winner Roger Bart, who will play Doc Brown, as well as Olivier Award nominee Hugh Coles, who has been cast as George McFly. Both Bart and Coles starred in the West End production of “Back to the Future: The Musical.” Likes has some experience bringing beloved films to the stage. He recently appeared in the lead role of apprising rock journalist William Miller in “Almost Famous: The Musical.” Likes casting was announced on “Good Morning America,” with the actor stepping out of a DeLorean. He has the unenviable task of finding his way into a role made famous by Michael J. Fox.
