Del Boy is to play Burnley entrepreneur Dave Fishwick in the new musical Bank of Dave which opens at the Lowry in May.
Sam Lupton, who starred as Del Boy in the the UK tour of Only Fools and Horses, is to play the self-made millionaire who took on the banks and won.
Bank of Dave the Musical with book and lyrics by Rob Madge and music by Pippa Cleary has its world premiere at Salford from from May 2 to 16.
Sam joins the cast which also includes Hayley Tamaddon as Dave's wife Nicky and Bolton-born West End star Claire Moore as Maureen.
Dave Fishwick's remarkable rags to riches story has already inspired a best-selling book, a BAFTA Award-winning documentary and two Netflix movies. He is a regular face on TV as a business and money expert and has had his own TV shows including Channel 4's Bank of Dave and Loan Ranger.
