00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.701
- I am Casey Likes and I play Marty McFly

2
00:00:02.701 --> 00:00:04.590
in "Back to the Future The Musical."

3
00:00:04.590 --> 00:00:08.010
- Okay, I'm Liana Hunt
and I play Lorraine Baines

4
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:09.810
in "Back to the Future The Musical."

5
00:00:11.316 --> 00:00:13.983
(upbeat music)

6
00:00:15.696 --> 00:00:16.529
- I mean, I personally

7
00:00:16.529 --> 00:00:19.560
I just love Michael J. Fox in this role.

8
00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:20.550
I think everyone does.

9
00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:25.140
I think he's one of the
few people who have made

10
00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:27.038
a role synonymous with them.

11
00:00:27.038 --> 00:00:28.260
I don't think you can think

12
00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:30.030
of Marty McFly without
thinking about Michael.

13
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:33.300
And I think for what I wanted to do

14
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:35.550
with the character, I wanted
to remind the audience

15
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:37.576
of my love for that performance.

16
00:00:37.576 --> 00:00:41.880
And once that they kind of
sign that contract with me

17
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.216
they get that I love it.

18
00:00:44.216 --> 00:00:47.149
Then later on, they're
kind of willing to go

19
00:00:47.149 --> 00:00:51.310
down the route of my Marty
McFly, which is, is me

20
00:00:53.574 --> 00:00:58.574
it's a lot of big themes of
family and friendship and love

21
00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:02.610
and those are things that
it wouldn't be fair to do

22
00:01:02.610 --> 00:01:05.160
in impersonation the entire time.

23
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:08.580
I just want to remind
and then we'll move on

24
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:11.550
and Yeah, that's, I hope that makes sense.

25
00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:13.530
- Yeah, and I think that's kind of our job

26
00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:18.180
with our characters who are so
iconic and iconically played

27
00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:19.620
by the actors who created them.

28
00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:22.230
Leah Thompson created the
role of Lorraine Baines

29
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:24.867
and she's just that, she's an icon.

30
00:01:24.867 --> 00:01:28.230
She was so good at
doing the older Lorraine

31
00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:32.430
and younger Lorraine and
infusing her with so much heart

32
00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:35.520
and honesty and life and zest.

33
00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:39.310
So it is my job and
responsibility to pay tribute

34
00:01:39.310 --> 00:01:41.190
to that performance.

35
00:01:41.190 --> 00:01:45.690
But also I am me and I
hope that I'm bringing,

36
00:01:45.690 --> 00:01:49.980
my certain sensibilities, my
sense of humor, my own heart.

37
00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:52.710
I mean, I love the
character of Lorraine Baines

38
00:01:52.710 --> 00:01:57.710
and so yeah, hopefully I am
paying homage to the character

39
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:01.380
that she created while also
infusing this character

40
00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:06.380
with myself and my timing,
so, I mean, that's the goal.

41
00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:10.230
- We are doing "Back to
the Future of The Musical"

42
00:02:10.230 --> 00:02:12.390

43
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:13.440
