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!” \nJoin 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 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. \nWith musical contributions from the iconic Chas & Dave\, the beloved 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. \nSo don’t delay\, get on the blower\, and get a ticket for a truly cushty night out – only a 42 carat PLONKER would miss it!
