A musical… by Harry Hill and Steve Brown… about Tony Blair… yes, really.
TONY! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] is a reckless reappraisal of the life of former Ugly Rumours front man and Britain’s first pop Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
The story of how one man went from peace-loving, long-haired hippy and would-be pop star to warmongering multimillionaire in just a couple of decades. Throw in a stellar cast of larger-than-life characters – Cherie Blair, Princess Diana, John Prescott, Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell, Osama bin Laden, George W Bush, Saddam Hussein and Gordon Brown – it’s Yes, Minister meets The Rocky Horror Show – and a musical like no other.
A hilarious tragedy of political intrigue, religion, power, and romance; this rip-roaring new musical by Harry Hill and Steve Brown received critical acclaim following a sold-out run at the Park Theatre in London.
TONY! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] is not to be confused with TONY! The Blair Musical (this new one sounds even crazier).
TONY! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] runs at The Lowry (Quays Theatre) from October 2 to 7, before wrapping up its UK tour at the Liverpool Playhouse, where it runs from October 10 to 14.
