Only Fools and Horses Liverpool tour date announced

Lovely jubbly! West End smash hit musical Only Fools and Horses is heading for Liverpool as part of an inaugural UK tour.

The stage show version of writer John Sullivan’s classic BBC comedy will come to the Liverpool Empire in June 2025 for a fortnight’s run.

And it has now been announced that co-writer Paul Whitehouse will reprise his stage role as Grandad in the show when it arrives at the Lime Street theatre.

The critically acclaimed production features all the TV series’ famous characters, from Del Boy, Rodney and Grandad to Raquel, Cassandra, Boycie and Marlene and is penned by Sullivan’s son Jim and comedy giant Paul Whitehouse, with musical contributions from Chas & Dave.

Whitehouse says: "Following four amazing years in the West End, I'm thrilled were announcing that Only Fools and Horses the Musical is going on tour.

“I’m delighted to return to the role of Grandad once more – I’ve really missed him - and audiences will also get to see all the other hilarious characters they know and love from the television series live on stage at their local theatre.

“We can't wait to see you. Mange Tout! Mange Tout!”

The tour opens in Bromley in September next year and concludes in Dublin 10 months later.

Further casting for Liverpool is yet to be announced.

Only Fools and Horses the Musical is at the Liverpool Empire from June 9-21, 2025. Tickets HERE
