Jeff plays the role of Casper in the new musical, alongside JLS singer Aston Merrygold, who stars as his onscreen brother Jasper.
The musical is playing at the Eventim Apollo in London from now until August 30.
Jeff shares Bobby and Freddy with late TV reality star Jade Goody.
The family feud began after Jeff started proceedings to stop Freddy seeing his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden, 68,
Jeff insists that she is a bad influence on Freddy, 20, but that hasn't stopped the youngster spending time at his nan's flat in Bermondsey, despite his dad filing court paperwork.
Last month, Freddy snubbed Jeff on Father's Day amid the ongoing legal battle to stop him seeing Jackiey.
Instead he chose to keep quiet, and not post anything, while his brother Bobby did post about his dad on Father's Day.
Taking to Instagram at the time, the EastEnders star shared a photo of himself, Jeff and Freddy stood on a beach, looking out towards the ocean.
With the three having their arms around each other in the snap, he captioned: "My dad's a rock."
Freddy and Bobby's beloved mum Jade died of cervical cancer on Mother's Day in 2009.
Meanwhile, Freddy recently made a shock U-turn on plans to enter rehab – just days after admitting he's been hooked on smoking since the age of 12.
The TV star - who appeared on Celebrity Race Across The World with his dad - shared his dramatic change of heart on Instagram.
Posting a black and white throwback of himself as a child, Freddy wrote: 'You know what I don't need rehab! I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.'
It came just days after Freddy stunned followers when he opened up about his long-standing smoking addiction.
He revealed he wanted to get help in Spain for cannabis, saying he 'wants a healthy relationship with his dad'.
Inside Bobby Brazier's burgeoning TV career
Bobby Brazier has risen through the ranks to become a well known face on British TV.
As the son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, he has been well-known amongst the public from a young age.
Bobby first embarked on a showbiz career when he was just 16-years old when he started modelling.
The star made his catwalk debut in 2020 at Milan Fashion Week, but it wasn't long before he had his eyes on a TV career.
He shot to prominence in 2022 when he was cast as Freddie Slater in EastEnders.
The incredibly acting skills displayed on screen earned him the National Television Award in the 'Rising Star' category.
His famous dad was in tears as Bobby accepted the award on stage in front of the likes of Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond.
It wasn't long before BBC bosses wanted him to take part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing.
He clearly impressed the viewers with his dancing skills as he made the grand final and was a runner-up.
Since then, viewers were delighted when he returned to his role in the long-running BBC One soap.
In a heartfelt post, he said: 'I want to be clean so I can life happily and have healthy relationships with people.."
"...and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side.'
Freddy also shared hopes of mending things with his famous father, saying: 'I want to play football and take up boxing.
"I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.'
During his appearance on BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World, Bobby opened up about the grief he suffered after his mum died.
He said: "I don't really remember being held by my mum… if I had more memories with her, it would have made it a whole lot harder for me, but I think I would rather that than not remembering the things I had done with my mum.'"

Britney Spears reveals how she sounds without autotune as she sings along to Otis Redding while dancing erratically in latest kooky clip
Britney Spears displayed her vocal abilities as she belted out a rendition of Otis Redding's (Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay. The singer, 43, is famed for using autotune on her catologue of hits, but kept the audio of her latest Instagram post unedited as she filmed herself singing. Britney was clad in a semi-sheer nude dress as she danced erratically while singing the Sixties hit. She captioned the clip: 'His soul makes me believe in GOD AGAIN !!! God knows I can't sing like him !!! I wish !!!' Later on Tuesday, the Toxic hitmaker filmed herself spinning around while flashing her bottom in another sheer gown. Britney is fond of sharing various dancing videos online but recently caused confusion when she took to Instagram to claim she had adopted a baby. Last month, she announced that she had 'adopted a beautiful baby girl' named Lennon London Spears, which turned out to be a joke. An insider told Daily Mail she was simply 'trying to be funny' and garner a reaction. 'Britney was just having fun when she announced that she would be adopting a girl,' our source confirmed. 'She did it for a laugh, she isn't adopting a daughter, and it also doesn't mean anything else like her getting a dog. She was just trying to be funny and see who would bite.' Britney shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Kevin Federline, but the family have a famously fractious relationship. The hitmaker is reportedly working on her relationship with her Jayden, with whom she has recently reunited. 'Jayden is her rock right now and if there was ever anything that broke this bond Britney would be crushed,' the insider said. 'He is all she talks about. She is helping his career and providing for him financially. He is living large now.' In the past, Jayden, has admitted to being embarrassed by his mother's social media posts. 'It's like almost as if she has to put something on Instagram to get attention,' he told ITV in 2022. 'This has gone on for years and years and years, and there's a high chance that this is never going to really stop, but I'm hoping for me, maybe she will.' Britney has been largely estranged from her sons who moved to Hawaii with their father in 2023. Following their divorce in 2007 – and a highly-publicized mental breakdown that led to Britney being placed under a 13-year conservatorship by her father Jamie Spears – Kevin was granted sole custody of the two boys in 2008. Over 17 years, she paid more than an estimated $5 million in child support, but those monthly payments came to an end last September when Jayden turned 18. Two months later, it was reported that Jayden was 'back in California' where Briney lives, though it was unclear if he was staying at her $7.4 million estate in Thousand Oaks.

I tried Tesco's £3 birthday cake sandwich and needed a glass of water
The arrival of Tesco's 'birthday cake sandwich' drew the inevitable attention of nearby colleagues when the bright purple package arrived at my desk. Launching just weeks after the M&S Strawberries and Cream version, the supermarket's cheaper take a sweet sando has gone equally viral. Metro colleagues visited two Tesco stores in an attemp to get their hands on one, only to be told fully stocked shelves had been emptied by 10.30am. Thankfully, the Whoosh delivery service came to the rescue. Released to celebrate 30 years of the Tesco Clubcard, the Victoria sponge-inspired sandwich features a brioche-style bread, filled with a strawberry jam and cream cheese filling, with a generous amount of rainbow sprinkles throughout. The limited edition launch is priced at £3 as a stand-alone item, or £4 as part of a meal deal. So, let's see what all the fuss is about. At first glance, Tesco's novelty sandwich might be mistaken for a distant cousin of the popular M&S dessert-sandwich sensation. However, as we unwrapped the packaging the initial intrigue of colleagues quickly turned into collective bemusement. On closer inspection, the vivid blue and yellow sprinkles embedded throughout the cream cheese filling evoked less of a festive celebration and more of an unfortunate mouldy appearance. Perhaps not exactly the celebration vibe Tesco was going for? Instagram and social media personality Bella Hill calls the sprinkle cream cheese combo 'colourful coleslaw' in her review. Despite its questionable appearance, the sandwich does offer an unexpected, satisfying crunch from the sprinkles, which contrast with the thick, creamy filling. But the sweetness is where the sandwich becomes divisive. The combination of jam and cream cheese is extremely sugary, and in my opinion, is verging on sickly. You'll need something to wash it down. A glance at the nutritional label explains it: the sandwich contains 35% of an adult's recommended daily sugar intake in a single serving. For those with a serious sweet tooth or simply after a novelty treat, it might just do the trick, but for most, it's likely to be a one-time curiosity rather than a regular lunch option. Perhaps a true brioche might have elevated the overall experience, giving a richer, more dessert-like quality to the sandwich. Instead, the bread provided feels much closer to a standard white loaf, making the balance of flavours feel a bit skewed. While I wouldn't buy the sandwich again, and it certainly won't be making it into my meal deal rotation, at £3 it's relatively affordable – especially in today's economy, where lunch options are creeping steadily upwards in price. But while the price point may be kind on your card, it does seem to be reflected in the overall quality. The bread feels budget, the flavours slightly unbalanced, and the execution lacks some finesse. While M&S launched their indulgent sandwich during Wimbledon in a clever nod to British summertime, the Tesco version feels more suited to a children's bithday party. Both have been divisive, with Metro's specialist food writer Courtney Pochin saying of the former: 'Anyone who claims it's the best thing they've ever eaten is probably just overhyping it for social media likes.' There's no getting around it: the Tesco version is the immature flatmate of M&S. But if this sandwich were positioned as part of a party platter, or placed in the kids' catering section alongside cupcakes and mini sausage rolls, it would likely be a hit. More Trending And surprisingly, Metro's Mel Evans actually preferred the cheaper Tesco edition, calling M&S's thicker bread and cream 'too cloying and dense.' 'Having tried both the new Tesco sandwich and the viral M&S strawberries and cream offering, I've come to the conclusion that Tesco's sweet treat edges ever so slightly ahead. Both the bread and the filling were lighter on the palate, whereas I was left struggling through the thick bread of M&S' sando. Still, both are most definitely suited to those with a sweet tooth,' she said. If you're keen to give the Tesco launch a try, you'll need to move quickly. This limited-edition sandwich is only available from August 4th to August 31st, and it's already selling out rapidly in stores.
