Great Scott! The iconic 1980s movie has blasted through time and that famous DeLorean is now a London stage star. Back to the Future couldn’t be more perfect for Father’s Day, since the whole show revolves around the relationship between Marty McFly and his dad George.

If Marty, who has accidentally travelled back to the 50s, can teach his father how to woo his mother (yes, it’s slightly awkward) and stand up to bully Biff, then George can change the entire family’s fate. This exhilarating musical also features jaw-dropping special effects and a propulsive rock score. It’s 1.21 gigawatts of pure entertainment.

Or perhaps you’d rather take your dad to the pub for a pint? Well, you can do just that – and also treat him to some fantastic theatre thanks to The Choir of Man. This hugely popular show is back in the West End, and it’s a lock-in (with a working bar!) that serves up both drinks and entertainment.

Welcome to The Jungle, and come meet the regulars. They share their stories via rip-roaring covers of familiar songs – everything from Adele and Sia to Paul Simon and Queen – and even bring some audience members up on stage to join in the fun. So, tell your dad that this round is on you.

“Everything the light touches is our kingdom.” Who could forget the incredible bond between Mufasa and son Simba in Disney’s beloved animated movie? It’s the great Mufasa who teaches his eager cub important life lessons like the delicate balance of the Pride Lands, and that the great kings never leave us — they look down on us from the stars.

The award-winning family musical brings their world to life through astonishing puppetry and stagecraft, plus you and your dad can enjoy all those brilliant songs from the film, like “Circle of Life,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” and “Hakuna Matata.” You’ll definitely be feeling the Father’s Day love.

If you’re looking for an outrageously funny theatre trip this Father’s Day, then The Book of Mormon is it. This is still the most shocking and side-splitting musical in town — which is hardly surprising, since it was created by South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, with catchy songs from Avenue Q and Frozen’s Robert Lopez.

Follow mismatched Mormon missionaries Elder Price and Elder Cunningham as they embark on a doomed converting trip to Uganda and come up against the local warlord. Taking potshots at a variety of satirical targets, this show is a riot — but also a sweet paean to the bond that can form between two very different people. It’s a Father’s Day theatre trip with a difference.

The Boy Who Lived is all grown up, and he has children of his own heading off to Hogwarts. However, Harry’s relationship with son Albus is a fraught one when this blockbuster tale begins, and it takes time — and a new battle against evil forces – for them to truly understand one another.

If you and your dad loved reading the Harry Potter books together, then make sure you head to this magical continuation of the story on stage. There’s nothing quite like seeing spells actually being cast right in front of you, and all your favourite characters are back. It’s the ultimate Father’s Day adventure.

If your dad is anything like mine, then Fawlty Towers reigns supreme among all sitcoms, and he will absolutely love this new stage version. John Cleese has combined three of the all-time great episodes into one incredibly funny play, bringing back all our favourite characters.

Watch Basil, Sybil, Manuel and Polly deal with hotel inspectors, difficult guests and of course their German visitors, allowing you to relive great punch-lines – "I know nothing", "Don't mention the war!" – plus the period costumes, hilarious slapstick, and general comic chaos.

OK, so the title might suggest this is more of an outing for mums, but bear with us. Mamma Mia! is very much about the dads too, with bride-to-be Sophie desperate to find her father before her wedding day — and ending up with three extremely different possibilities in architect Sam, explorer Bill and banker Harry.

Plus who doesn’t love ABBA? The infectious songs of this joyful jukebox musical — from “Money, Money, Money” and “I Have a Dream” to “Knowing Me, Knowing You” and “Waterloo” – will have the whole family on their feet. Celebrate your inner dancing queen this Father’s Day.

Another titanic father figure in theatre is Jean Valjean. Based on Victor Hugo’s novel, this stirring musical tackles everything from crime and justice to a blood-spattered revolution, and at its heart is the convict who tries to reinvent himself, while being hunted by a dogged policeman.

But Valjean risks everything to protect his adopted daughter, Cosette, and then to save the man she loves, Marius. The exquisite song “Bring Him Home” is a heart-rending expression of fatherly love. Bring your dad to this West End triumph and you can hear the people sing on Father’s Day.
