Well made, Entertaining, Funny, Clever, Underrated

See it if You liked TV show. Also recommend if you need cheer ups. Very funny and warm. Act and sing well - even understudies are great.

Don't see it if Not 'don't see' but if you don't know the original programme you may be confused why other people are laughing.

Heartwarming, Audience pleaser!, Fun, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you want a theatre show hug - A jewel in JoanMavisTrotter's crown Delboy owns the stage & leads a wonderful cast! Nostalgia at it’s finest!

Don't see it if you don’t like OFAH tv programme - the best scenes are amalgamated into a ‘cushty’ reimagined comedy.

Refreshing, Fluffy, Funny

See it if You're a fan of the series, love a nice easy fun night out and a good laugh! I hadn't seen the show and still enjoyed it very much.

Don't see it if You're opposed to the series because you won't enjoy it; or are expecting a new storyline as I believe this was a mash up of known stories.

Time Out London
October 1st, 2021

It’s affectionate fun. There are some good gags – including an early tease of Del’s bar fall – and the sitcom's iconic theme tune works well as a refrain (sung by the cast) for the twinkly cheekiness of this show’s tone.

It’s not half as entertaining as the original pratfall. But if you ever wanted to see it in the flesh, here’s your chance. Nuff said.

Just how much you warm to it will largely depend on your wish to revisit a beloved TV series in this new but hardly revelatory format.

What are the rules here? It’s a well-meaning evening but it needs a generous audience.

For a previous production

Despite its flaws, it's refreshing to see a new musical that, probably for the first time since Our House, revels in its London setting and unapologetic Britishness. Plus it's often laugh-out-loud funny.

The result is a show that shouldn’t work and often doesn’t, but is enjoyable all the same.

For a previous production

The crucial thing missing from this funny musical is any truly compelling reason why Del Boy and Rodney have to burst into song.

In an era of international musicals, this unashamedly British night out is a change and a treat.
