Comedy star Paul Whitehouse will take on the role of Grandad, with Sam Lupton, known for his performances in Wicked and Little Shop of Horrors, stepping into the shoes of Del Boy.

Tom Major will make his professional theatre career debut embodying Rodney.

Also featured in the cast is Georgina Hagan, reviving her role as Raquel and Craig Berry, who has previously performed in The Bodyguard and Mamma Mia, will reprise his role as Boycie.

Nicola Munns will juggle dual roles, donning Marlene's high heels and taking on Cassandra's persona.

Additional members from the original West End production include Lee VG as Trigger, Bradley John as Denzil, Darryl Paul as Mike / Tony Driscoll / Cripps and Rhys Owen, Christopher Arkeston and Andrew Bryant will also perform.

Expertly directed by the original West End production’s Caroline Jay Ranger, the musical spectacular is based on John Sullivan’s legendary television show.

Jim Sullivan, John’s son, and Paul Whitehouse have created an original score and script that breathe new life into the classic comedy with 20 show-stopping numbers.

Throughout its West End performance, critics praised Only Fools and Horses The Musical, with numerous media outlets including The Sun, the Daily Mirror, The Sunday Times, and the Evening Standard bestowing favourable ratings.

This feel-good family celebration of traditional London life in 1989, set in the heart of Peckham, invites audiences on a nostalgic trip.

Inbetween the rising tide of yuppie culture, Del Boy embarks on a quest for a soulmate, Rodney and Cassandra prepare to wed, and even Trigger manages to snag a date.

Meanwhile, Boycie and Marlene are making one last attempt at parenthood as Grandad decides it's time to address his health concerns.

The musical features contributions from the iconic music duo Chas & Dave, breathes new life into the well-known theme tune, and introduces several new songs that encapsulate character and the charm of the cockney dialect.

Only Fools and Horses The Musical promises an evening of great entertainment in Glasgow. Tickets are available now.
