Hilarious musical from Harry Hill

Harry Hill & Steve Brown present a hilarious new rock opera about Brit Pop Prime Minister Tony Blair.

A reckless reappraisal of the life of former Ugly Rumours front man and Britain’s first pop Prime Minister Tony Blair.

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 and you’ve got one hell of a weapon of mass distraction! 

With crowd-pleasers like ‘Macro Economics’ and the haunting ballad ‘I Never Done Anything Wrong’ – it’s Yes, Minister meets The Rocky Horror Show! and a musical like no other.

Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] is booking from 15 April to 21 May 2023 at the Leicester Square Theatre in London.

Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] is 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.
