Only Fools and Horses’ West End musical coming to Nottingham

Nottingham-based fans of the legendary BBC series Only Fools and Horses are invited to spend a few hours in the company of Del Boy, Rodney, and co as the critically acclaimed West End stage production of the show comes to the city. 

But sadly it won’t be until 2025 that you might be able to spot a scruffy three-wheeler carrying hooky gear around Nottingham

The show will be on at the city’s Theatre Royal between April 21 and 26, 2025. 

Since its West End debut in 2019, the musical has gone on to sell-out venues across the country. 

Its script is written by Jim Sullivan, son of original creator, John, alongside comedian Paul Whitehouse. 

The show compresses 64 episodes of the iconic show into a two-hour story. 

The mammoth 2024/25 tour kicks off in Bromley in September next year and concludes in Liverpool nine months later. 

Whitehouse said: “Following four amazing years in the West End, I’m thrilled we are announcing today that Only Fools and Horses The Musical is going on tour.

“I’ve long been asked by many fans when this might happen, so I’m delighted to confirm that the show will be coming to a theatre near you from September next year.

“All of the characters we know and love from the Only Fools television series will be live on stage, as we take Peckham on the road! Bonnet de douche!”
