London, 25 June 2025 — Popular content creator Maddie Grace Jepson will swap ring lights for stage lights this summer when she joins the hit production of Back to the Future: The Musical at the Adelphi Theatre. From 13 August 2025, Jepson will step into the role of Lorraine Baines, Marty McFly’s lovestruck mother-to-be.
“Looks like I’m in my debut era!” Jepson exclaimed. “Musical theatre was my first love, so joining this award-winning show feels like fate. Lorraine— I’m coming for you.”
Since opening in September 2021, the WhatsOnStage Award-winning musical has welcomed more than 1.6 milliontheatregoers in London and Manchester and smashed box-office records at the Adelphi. Productions have launched on Broadway and in Japan, with Australian and German runs slated for later this year and a Royal Caribbean iteration currently in development.
Jepson isn’t the only fresh face arriving on 13 August. Beloved entertainer Brian Conley will don the lab coat and goggles of Doctor Emmett Brown for a limited 12-week engagement through 3 November. They join a company led by Caden Brauch as Marty McFly and Sarah Goggin—who hands the Lorraine baton to Jepson—alongside Orlando Gibbs (George McFly) and Alex Runicles (Biff Tannen).
