Mange Tout

Del’s attempts to come across as educated, sophisticated and well-mannered are demonstrated in Mange Tout - a mix of Queen’s English, Del-French, cockney, and… other Delisms. It forms part of his dating profile. 

Bit of a Sort 

After Del has shown his best side, he lists all his wants in a partner. Essentially, he wants someone classy and, well, a bit of a sort. 

Raining for Grandad

A poetic lament from Grandad about the little he has in life, but how rich he is thanks to his family.

Being a Villain

Introducing crime bosses, the Driscoll brothers, Being a Villain is a big, almost pantomime number that forms a parody of big musical tunes. 

Lovely Day

Who are the main Only Fools and Horses characters?

One entrepreneur, one plonker, and their elders. Meet the Trotters, the main Only Fools and Horses characters.

Del Boy

Lovable, ambitious, and a little bit deluded. Del Boy is a market trader from Peckham who’s constantly trying to make it rich. Between selling TVs that have fallen off the back of a van to new-fangled computers, he’ll try it all to make it out of his dishevelled flat. The head of the family, Del Boy lives with his little brother and grandad, taking full responsibility for their well-being and future. With unforgettable one-liners and catchphrases, he’s one of Britain’s most beloved characters and continues to be so on stage.

Sam Lupton takes on the iconic role of the cocktail guzzling geezer, having previously starred as the madly-in-love munchkin, Boq, in Wicked. 

Rodney

The second in line at Trotters Independent Traders, Rodney is Del Boy’s little brother. Nervous and trying to be responsible, Rodney struggles with Del Boy’s finagling ventures but often gets roped in. But will his brother cause him to ruin his relationship with his soon-to-be wife Cassandra?

Just like Rodney, Tom Major is learning the ropes. Making his West End debut before he’s even graduated from drama school!

Grandad

The family’s elder, Grandad reflects on his life and the little he’s done with it. Living with Del Boy and Rodney, he often mishears them, leading to hilarious consequences.

Paul Whitehouse, the musical's co-creator, reprises his role as the loveable liability, Grandad. Swapping previous double act partners, Harry Enfield and fishing friend, Bob Mortimer, to share the stage with a younger pair of plonkers, the BAFTA-winning comedian revels as the retired navy officer. 

Uncle Albert

After Grandad passes away, Uncle Albert moves in with the brothers. A bit more spritely and full of his own stories, he’s eager to make the most of the time he has left and joins in where he can.
