Synopsis: Only Fools and Horses The Musical

Paul Whitehouse will appear as Grandad, meanwhile Tom Bennett will star as Del Boy and Ryan Hutton will take on the role of Rodney.
The score has been created by Jim Sullivan and Paul Whitehouse, with musical contributions from Chas n Dave.
The musical is being described as “a feel-good family celebration of traditional working-class London life and the aspirations we all share”.
