4. Lovely Day
The musical features numerous songs written just for the show as well as songs that fans of the beloved tv series will recognise.

It hits the nostalgic spot for the Only Fools and Horses fans and is enjoyable amongst the new songs for the musical theatre fans.
3. Bit of a Sort
What is a musical comedy without songs that are unabashedly fun? ‘Bit of a Sort’ is just that! It’s comical, it’s camp and all-round good fun!

2. The Girl
Who doesn’t love a good ballad? ‘The Girl’ is the most traditional musical theatre song, and introduces the character of Raquel. It is pivotal in the story (of the show) and is inspired by the OFAH tv episode ‘Dates’ – which hits all the nostalgic points for fans!
1. Only Fools and Horses Hooky Street
Coming in a number one has to be title song ‘Only Fools and Horses/Hooky Street’. The number is based on the tv show opening theme and even if you’re not a fan, you’ll probably recognise the catchy jingle. It’s great fun and light-hearted, and most people recognise it, which makes it the perfect way to set up the show and immerses you in the OFAH world.
