Stick a pony in your pocket – The Trotters are back and coming to a town near you. The smash hit show Only Fools and Horses The Musical – direct from a record-breaking four-year sold-out run in London’s West End – featuring Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad, Cassandra, Raquel, Boycie, Marlene, Trigger, Denzil and Mickey Pearce.
Based on John Sullivan’s television show, this critically acclaimed home-grown musical features cherished material from one of Britain’s most loved TV series. With a script and original score written by John’s son, Jim Sullivan, and comedy giant Paul Whitehouse, experience this classic brought to life on stage through an ingenious script and 20 hilarious songs.
Fans and critics alike praised Only Fools and Horses The Musical in their droves during its triumphant West End run: The Sunday Times bestowed four stars and remarked that “Only Fools is a blast from our wide-boy past. A hearty stage adaptation of the 1980s BBC television comedy”. Evening Standard also awarded four stars, complimenting the “unashamedly British night out. A jubilant lovely jubbly!” While the Daily Mail urged its readers to “raise a glass of Tittinger to Del Boy and Rodney as Only Fools and Horses storms the West End!”
Join us as we take a trip back in time, where it’s all kicking off in Peckham. While the yuppie invasion of London is in full swing, love is in the air as Del Boy sets out on the rocky road to find his soulmate, Rodney and Cassandra prepare to say ‘I do’, and even Trigger is gearing up for a date (with a person!). Meanwhile, Boycie and Marlene give parenthood one final shot, and Grandad takes stock of his life and decides the time has finally arrived to get his piles sorted.
With musical contributions from the Chas & Dave, the recognisable theme tune as you have never heard it before, and an array of brand-new songs full of character and cockney charm, you’re guaranteed to have a right ol’ knees-up! Only Fools and Horses The Musical is a feel-good family celebration of traditional working-class London life in 1989, and the aspirations we all share.
The show didn't disappoint. As an avid fan of the show for many years, I was looking forward to the show and it was an absolute joy from start to finish. All the actors were just as good as the original cast and Paul Whitehouse played Grandad and Uncle Albert superbly. So glad I was able to see the show when it came to Sheffield.
We booked these tickets, 27 months before hand. It was well worth the wait. The actors were great and spinded like the original characters they played. Listen carefully for the one liners too. So really clever references to the series. Go and watch, you will not be disappointed.
Expected a bit more of a story line rather than what we got. Felt it was a show made from clips of the tv series., with the only fools and hoses theme tune sang repeatedly through it. For me it was slow and a bit flat
Everyone of the cast was brilliant and Paul Whitehouse was his usual self. If you like the t.v. show you'll definitely enjoy this.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed it was absolutely brilliant and the characters were so good that you'd think they were the original cast! Well worth going to see.
One of the best shows I've watched in years our group ranged from the age of 18 to 70 and we all loved it. The casting is brilliant, Paul Whitehouse just outstanding. I could watch it all over again!
10 out of 10, First time we've seen a musical. Husband loves only fools & horses, didn't disappoint. Would defiantly recommend.
Polished performances from all the cast - Sam Lupton as Del-Boy was absolutely spot on! Didn't expect the show to move me in the way it did, I enjoyed the unexpectedness of that! Fab show - really funny in places, and it was good to see people in the audience who you wouldn't normally see in a musical crowd. Obviously appeals to the masses! Loved it!
What a great performance - the actors were superb, capturing the essence of the characters to a T. We were fortunate to have Paul Whitehouse playing Grandad/Uncle Albert as totally appreciate that he cannot be available for every performance - he received a fantastic welcome from the whole audience when he came on stage. The whole musical as a treat and we laughed through the whole event - Well don to all. To be recommended to all
The whole cast is terrific, at times it felt as if you were watching the original TV cast. Funny and nostalgic at the same time
