Only Fools and Horses to return to Theatre Royal Haymarket

Only Fools and Horses the Musical will return to the Theatre Royal Haymarket in October.

Opening on October 1, it will form part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the BBC sitcom, and will see Paul Whitehouse reprise his role as Grandad.

Tom Bennett will play Del Boy, and Ryan Hutton will appear as Rodney.

Whitehouse said: “I’m over the moon because, finally, the West End is coming back to life and Only Fools and Horses the Musical will return to the Theatre Royal Haymarket this October. The last year or so has been very difficult for a lot of people, so I know I speak for the whole cast when I say that we genuinely cannot wait to get back on stage in front of a live audience - we’ve missed it so much. Roll on October 1, we can’t wait to see you.”

The show has a script and score by Jim Sullivan and Whitehouse.

It is directed and choreographed by Caroline Jay Ranger and is produced by Phil McIntyre.
