THE smash hit Only Fools and Horses The Musical arrives in Westcliff today for a week full of performances - as fans who have bought tickets have been issued a warning.

On its 10-month tour of the UK following a record-breaking four-year run in London’s West End, the Trotters stop at Cliffs Pavilion today with 2.30pm and 8pm performances running until Saturday, October 5.

The show is fully sold out with an extra performance even added back in May thanks to huge demand. Due to the production being completely booked, Cliffs Pavilion bosses have warned audiences to ensure they are arriving for the correct date and time.

A spokesman for Southend Theatres warned: "Attention all Only Fools and Horses The Musical bookers: Please double check your tickets to ensure you have the correct date and time for your performance.

"Only Fools and Horses The Musical is completely sold out and we won't be able to accommodate or reschedule anyone arriving for the wrong performance.

"We can't wait to see you at the Cliffs Pavilion!" 

Based on John Sullivan’s legendary sitcom, the production features material from Britain’s best loved series - with a script and original score written by John’s son, Jim Sullivan, and comedy star Paul Whitehouse.

The musical stars all the fan favourite characters including Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad, Cassandra, Raquel, Boycie and Marlene - with Whitehouse to star as Grandad.
