Encore has a whole host of recommendations on shows for coach groups in its latest update, including Only Fools And Horses The Musical at Theatre Royal Haymarket; Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical at the Lyric Theatre; and Magic Goes Wrong at the Apollo Theatre.
The world may have changed a lot since we first bid a jovial ‘au revoir’ to the Trotters of Peckham, but Del Boy, Rodney and the rest of the gang haven’t changed a bit … well, apart from the odd spontaneous bursting into song here, and the occasional dancing across the market.
Only Fools and Horses, written by the late, great John Sullivan, undoubtedly holds a special place in the hearts of the British public. Now, John’s son Jim Sullivan has teamed up with comedian Paul Whitehouse to write and produce a script and score to honour his father’s legacy, recreating the iconic series into a new home-grown British musical spectacular. Lovely Jubbly!
Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical celebrates the story of Jamaica’s global superstar. From the hills of rural Jamaica, armed only with his talent and beliefs, Bob Marley applied himself with resolute determination to achieve international acclaim for his prophetic musical message – a gospel of love and unity.
With unlimited access to Marley’s catalogue of music, the show captures the rebellious spirit and story of this universal icon. A company of performers fuse with the finest reggae musicians to bring this triumphant tale of passion, political unrest and progress from Trenchtown to the West End.
Created with magic legends Penn & Teller, Mischief Theatre conjures up Magic Goes Wrong, an evening of grand illusion. In the next ‘Goes Wrong’ comedy to hit the West End, the original Mischief company play a hapless gang of magicians presenting a charity event. As the accidents spiral out of control, so does their fundraising target!
