A hit musical based on a beloved BBC sitcom is taking to the stage in Ipswich in the new year. 

Only Fools and Horses The Musical is at the Ipswich Regent Theatre from January 7 to January 11, 2025 on tour following a four-year run in London's West End. 

The musical features cherished material from John Sullivan's much-loved TV show with the original script and score written by his son Jim and comedian Paul Whitehouse. 

Join Del Boy as he sets out on the rocky round to find his soulmate, Rodney and Cassandra prepare to say "I do", and Grandad takes stock of his life and decides the time has finally arrived to get his piles sorted.
