This news comes as the musical, which features ‘PhoneShop’ star Tom Bennett (Del Boy), Ryan Hutton (Rodney) and The Fast Show’s Paul Whitehouse (Grandad), has announced there will be a cast change next month .
‘Only Fools And Horses The Musical’ was co-written by Jim Sullivan, the son of the sitcom’s late creator John Sullivan.
John Challis – who starred as Aubrey ‘Boycie’ Boyce in the long-running BBC comedy series and spin-off ‘The Green Green Grass’ – previously admitted John, who passed away in 2011, would be "proud" of the musical, because he had "always talked" about creating a stage show out of the beloved programme.
He added: "John Sullivan would be proud because it was something he always talked about. He always talked about doing a stage show and a musical he had lots of plans but unfortunately he got ill and passed away.
"It’s something he always wanted to do but it was difficult to get together with us because we had to get tied up for about a year and I don’t think David Jason particularly did want to do that for obvious reasons.
"And if you’ve got to sign a contract for a long time, it depends on where your life is and you know, if you want to go on tour and you’re not living anywhere particularly and you don’t have a family to look after than touring is very good but if you’ve got a lot of responsibilities then it’s hard to go away for a year."
