“Only Fools and Horses: The Musical” is a delightful stage adaptation of the show. Created by Paul Whitehouse and Jim Sullivan, the musical captures the heart, humour, and essence of the original show, characters of Del Boy, Rodney, and Grandad to life on stage with a fresh twist.

Set in Peckham, South London, during the late 1980s, the musical follows the comedic escapades of the Trotter family as they navigate through a series of harebrained schemes to make their fortune. True to the spirit of the original series, the stage adaptation is filled with clever wit and touching moments that capture the struggles and dreams of working-class life.

The script, co-written by Jim Sullivan (son of the show’s original creator) ensures that the musical stays true to the series, while also introducing new characters and scenarios that enrich the Trotters’ world. Paul Whitehouse not only co-wrote the musical but also stars in it as Grandad.

The music, composed by Whitehouse and songwriter Chas Hodges, features a mix of original numbers and familiar tunes that evoke nostalgia for both longtime fans and newcomers. Songs like “Lovely Jubbly” and “This Time Next Year” encapsulate Del Boy’s eternal optimism and boundless energy, while the show-stopping “Where Have All the Cockneys Gone?” offers comedic social commentary.

Visually, the production captures the iconic look and feel of 1980s Peckham, complete with colourful costumes and dynamic set pieces that transport audiences into the Trotters’ bustling world. With its perfect blend of humour, heart, and history, “Only Fools and Horses: The Musical” serves as a tribute to one of Britain’s most cherished sitcoms, offering a feel-good experience that resonates with audiences of all ages.
