OTHER REVIEWS
THE STAGE – Well, it’s not going to win any Olivier awards, but Only Fools and Horses the Musical does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a great big nostalgia-fest, and the critics either like it or loathe it accordingly. Two-star, three-star, and a handful of four-star ratings are all available.The story and script is basically one big concoction of the TV show’s most-loved moments and the scrapbook score is decidedly disappointing, but the performances are actually excellent, with Bennett slipping superbly into David Jason’s shoes as Del Boy. Not quite Crème de la Menthe then, but cushty enough for fans.
THE EVENING STANDARD – Only Fools and Horses the Musical review: Loving, lively homage is an unashamedly British night out
Only Fools and Horses star John Challis who played Boycie has tipped the hit sitcom to make a successful return to TV screens with a new cast. The actor said the “great feeling for old shows and nostalgia” could prompt a remake. Challis believes it could be revived with young stars. “I think if they cast the characters young again it might take off,” said Challis, who watched the opening night of the musical adaptation of the sitcom in the West End.
THE INDEPENDENT – Only Fools and Horses: The Musical, Theatre Royal, review: Entertaining adaptation aimed firmly at the fans.
The crucial thing missing from this funny musical is any truly compelling reason why Del Boy and Rodney have to burst into song
Do let us know what you think, you know it makes sense
Absolutely loved it – so much so, I am returning in July to watch it again.
Nice sized theatre. Not too big. So even if you’re at the back, the views are still at least half-decent. We were in upper-circle and I could make out the faces of the actors quite well.
A lovely homage to the show. I am not into musicals, however, this was the exception. I was dubious before the show when learning that there would be 20 original songs. However – I was not disappointed.
Special mention to the actors playing Rodney and Trigg. Top effort.
The characters almost make it their own. Their take on the characters they love.
Cest magnifique. A must see for OFAH fans
Went to see it yesterday. Cest magnifique. A must see for all OFAH fans.
I think the show looks very good
