Comedy legend Paul Whitehouse is to reprise his West End starring role as the lovable Grandad in the UK and Ireland tour of the smash hit show Only Fools and Horses The Musical which heads to Yorkshire this autumn.

“We had four amazing years in the West

End playing to packed out houses every night, so it’s an honour to take Only Fools on the road to towns and cities up and down the country from September this year,” says Whitehouse.

“I’m delighted to return to the role of Grandad once more – I’ve really missed him – and audiences will also get to see all the other hilarious characters they know and love from the television series live on stage at their local theatre. We can't wait to see you.”

Directed by the originating West End director Caroline Jay Ranger, and based on John

Sullivan’s television show, this critically acclaimed home-grown musical spectacular features material from one of Britain’s best loved TV series.

With a script and original score written by John’s son, Jim Sullivan and Paul Whitehouse, the classic comedy is brought to life on stage with 20 songs. Fans and critics alike praised Only Fools and Horses The Musical in their droves during its triumphant West End run, receiving four and five star reviews.

Audiences will be taken on 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. Meanwhile, Boycie and Marlene give parenthood one final shot and Grandad takes stock of his life.

With musical contributions from the iconic Chas and Dave, the beloved theme tune as you’ve never heard it before, and an array of brand-new songs full of character and cockney charm, audiences are guaranteed to enjoy a right old knees-up in a feel-good family celebration of traditional working-class London life in 1989.
