What have the cast said about the Only Fools and Horses musical?
The cast are adamant that fans of the original show won't be disappointed.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, Tom Bennett, who plays Del Boy said: "It does everything that an Only Fools fan wants it to do."
The musical is now open for previews while the cast and crew iron out the kinks.
Tom told The Sun: "You get a 10-day, two-week period of grace where you do previews and that means you can hone the show and work out any mistakes, anomalies – set falling over, something going wrong, both of which has happened.
"We fluffed a few lines and muck about a bit. For me, having done comedy, I don't mind things going wrong. The audience laugh more at stuff going wrong than any well-crafted gags."
