It has been co-written by Paul Whitehouse and Jim Sullivan (son of the sitcom's creator John). The late Chas Hodges, of Chas and Dave fame, helped compose the show's 20 new tunes. The musical (which John Sullivan was working on at the time of his death in 2011) is "fully endorsed" by the late writer's estate.
Featuring material from the TV series ,the musical takes a a trip back to 1989, 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 soul mate, 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!
Directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, Only Fools and Horses has set and costume design by Liz Ascroft, musical supervision and arrangement by Stuart Morley, lighting by Richard G Jones and sound by Rory Madden.
