The Trotters are back and they’re coming to Bristol’s biggest theatre venue for a two-week run of their smash hit show – fresh from a record-breaking four-year sell-out run on London’s West End.

 

Only Fools & Horses The Musical runs at The Bristol Hippodrome from Monday 27 January to Saturday 8 February 2025.

 

Based on John Sullivan’s legendary sitcom, this critically acclaimed musical spectacular finishes all your favourite characters from this monolith of British comedy. Reacquaint yourself with Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad, Cassandra, Boycie, Marlene, Trigger, Denzil and the rest of the gang!

The script of this celebrated musical comes from the minds of Jim Sullivan (John’s son) and comedy legend Paul Whitehouse who will be bringing Britain’s most lovable TV rogues back to life with an ingenious script and 20 hilarious songs.

 

Only Fools The Musical transports the audience back in time, kicking off in Peckham. The yuppie invasion is in full swing but love is in the air as Del Boy sets out to find his soulmate. Rodney and Cassandra prepare to say ‘I do’ and even Trigger has a date - with a human! Boycie and Marlene give parenthood a final shot and Grandad finally decides to get his piles sorted.

 

With musical contributions from none other than Chas & Dave, the original show’s classic theme tune as you’ve never heard it before, and a bucket load of brand new tunes full of cockney character, this is guaranteed to be a right ol’ family knees up!

 

As well as Bristol, The Only Fools & Horses Musical UK & Ireland tour will drop by venues in Bromley, Southend, Bradford, York, Wolverhampton, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Sunderland, Stoke, Brighton, London, Ipswich, Norwich, Llandudno, Newcastle, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Sheffield and Liverpool.
