Only Fools and Horses The Musical comes to Northampton

Following a record-breaking sold out four year run in London’s West End, the huge UK tour of the smash hit show Only Fools and Horses The Musical comes to Northampton Royal & Derngate on 2 – 7 June.

Only Fools and Horses The Musical

Join 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.

Co-writer Paul Whitehouse says “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. We can't wait to see you. Mange Tout! Mange Tout!”
