COMEDY lovers are in for a special treat with Del Boy, Rodney and Grandad bringing the smash hit show Only Fools and Horses The Musical to the Hall for Cornwall.
-

Direct from a record-breaking sold-out four-year run in London, the 10-month tour kicked off in September 2024 and is travelling to more than 30 towns and cities across the country.
The musical, co-written by comedy giant Paul Whitehouse and Jim Sullivan, the son of John Sullivan, the writer of the original TV series, will be at the Truro playhouse from May 5-10.
Directed by the originating West End director Caroline Jay Ranger, and based on John Sullivan’s record-breaking television show, the critically-acclaimed musical spectacular features cherished material from across the best of the TV series.
Audiences are promised some of Britain’s most lovable rogues and a classic comedy brought to life on stage through an ingenious script and 20 hilarious songs.
Philip Childs will be playing the role of Grandad at the Hall for Cornwall with Whitehouse unavailable.
Joining him on stage will be Sam Lupton as Del Boy, Tom Major as Rodney, Georgina Hagen as Raquel, Nicola Munns as Marlene/Cassandra, Craig Berry as Boycie and Lee VG as Trigger.
