Paul Whitehouse plans to take Only Fools and Horses musical on tour

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Whitehouse is planning to take his ‘Only Fools and Horses The Musical’ show on tour.
The 64-year-old comedian has admitted he would love to go on the road with the West End production, which is based on the sitcom of the same name.
He said: “There are plans in the future to take it on tour.”
Paul plays Grandad in the musical – which first started in 2019 – but the star admitted he used to wake up in the early hours wondering what he had done when he first thought about putting the show on, because of the popularity of the TV series.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’, he added: “We felt a little bit concerned at the start, as you can imagine, because there’s a lot of pressure.
“I’d wake up at three o’clock in the morning thinking, ‘Oh no, what have I done?’ ”
Paul co-wrote the show alongside late ‘Only Fools’ creator John Sullivan’s son Jim Sullivan, but he recently admitted he lives in fear of Sir David Jason – who played Del Boy Trotter in the legendary series – turning up to watch his ‘Only Fools’ musical.
He said: “That’s not what you want, is it? Can you imagine if David Jason turned up? If David Jason turned up there would be a riot I think. I think the audience would go crazy.
“I honestly think if he turned up we wouldn’t be able to do the show.”
The ‘Fast Show’ star said the cast felt pressure when the Boycie actor John Challis – who died in his sleep from cancer in September 2021 aged 79 – went to see the musical.
The musical was one of the most popular shows in London before the pandemic closed theatres in March 2020, and received a raft of five stars reviews when it opened.
