Newcastle Theatre Royal to Welcome Two Smash Hit Musicals on Their First UK Tours

Following sold-out runs in London’s West End at the Shaftesbury Theatre and the Theatre Royal Haymarket respectively, & Juliet, as well as Only Fools and Horses The Musical, are set to visit Newcastle Theatre Royal in 2025!

Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as Juliet ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way. Or join us as we take a trip back in time, where it’s all kicking off in Peckham with classic characters; Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad, Cassandra, Raquel, Boycie, Marlene, Trigger, Denzil and Mickey Pearce.

Only Fools and Horses The Musical features musical contributions from the iconic Chas & Dave and the beloved theme tune as you have never heard it before. With an array of brand-new songs full of character and cockney charm, it’ll be lovely jubbly - only a 42 carat plonker would miss it!

Created by the Emmy-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, Juliet’s new story proves there is more to life than Romeo and features a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including Britney Spears’ …Baby One More Time, Katy Perry’s Roar and chart toppers Since U Been Gone, It’s My Life, Can’t Stop the Feeling, and I Want It That Way.

Only Fools and Horses The Musical plays Newcastle Theatre Royal Mon 10 – Sat 22 Feb 2025 with & Juliet taking to the stage Mon 2 – Sat 7 Jun 2025.

Booking for both new shows opens on Wed 1 Nov and tickets can be purchased at www.theatreroyal.co.uk or from the Theatre Royal Box Office on 0191 232 7010.

Casting for both performances is still to be announced.
