Bonjour! What a show! And what more can you ask for other than Del Boy, dancing and a dry sense of humour, this show will have you gripping at your sides in fits of laughter. Caroline Jay Ranger captured the authenticity of the hit sitcom perfectly, while also intertwining entertaining musical numbers and infectious routines, sprucing up all the action.
The show throws you right back into the boot of the totters van and sells itself to you like Rodney does when he’s trying to auction off another knock off product. If you’re worried you won’t experience the well known and loved working class Londoners that feature in the TV show, let us reassure you these actors have the characters spot on.
Sam Lupton well and truly had Del Boy down to a T, the voice, personality and even his mannerisms truly trick you into believing you’re at home with your feet up, cup of tea in hand, watching him on the telly.
The show was so carefully constructed, catering to old and new fans, even the iconic costumes made an appearance, braces, camouflage, sweaters and flat caps filled the stage. If you want an excuse to step right back into south London of the 80’s this musical production, you have the chance to witness new tunes, old characters, and a whole lot of sarcasm. Pop down for a pint or two with the only fools crew, be sure to take it easy though you don’t want to end up flat faced in the bar.
If you plan on booking tickets or already have yours secured, then saddle up cause you’re in for a bumpy ride. And by bumpy we mean podgy, as you immerse yourself in a narrative as jam packed as grandads belly after a bacon butty.
