Tony! The Tony Blair Rock Opera
This satirical retelling of Britain's first Pop Prime Minister is more than a little reckless. Once the frontman of the Ugly Rumours, a pacifist hippy, wannabe pop star transforms into a warmongering multimillionaire politician in the course of a few decades.
This seriously side-splitting story of tragic intrigue, power, romance and religion might not strictly follow the facts, but it’ll have you rolling down both sides of the party line.
With a cast of characters too big to believe, including Cherie Blair, Princess Diana, John Prescott, Peter Mandelson, Alistair Campbell, Osama Bin Laden, George W Bush, Saddam Hussein, Gordon Brown this is a weapon of mass distraction waiting to blow!
Don’t miss your chance to hum along to such tried and true classics as ‘Macro Economics’, 'Kill the Infidel' and the haunting ballad ‘I Never Did Anything Wrong’. This is a musical that’s truthfully like no other.

well conceived. Funny in a rather slapstick way. Enjoyable way of spending an afternoon
Well written and performed by a talented bunch of performers. I laughed throughout and was mightily entertained. Thank you ??
Great writing, acting, singing, dancing! Funny too and unique in topic!
FANTASTIC! Very very funny with good music and lyrics. The cast were all superb. It is THE musical “opera” for todays times and for the younger generation to have their eyes opened to what is going on - and vote accordingly. The best show I’ve seen for ages (and I’ve seen a lot). Brilliant
Having lived through the events I understood all the references though what my grandchildren in their 20s would have made of I can't imagine. I laughed a lot especially at Princess Di and the Americans. Someone said Blair will be remembered only for Iraq just as Eden is remembered only for Suez. A bit harsh. Could have been a bit more hard-hitting/surreal a la 1930s Berlin cabarets. I look forward to the production transferring to TV if it's not censored.
Not really for me..but my wife loved it..I was expecting a bit more straightforward satire of the Blairs mixed with the music from the era.
I thought it was brilliant- very funny and enjoyed the music too
A glorious, madcap retelling of the Blair years, thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. The music and lyrics are clever and catchy, and the cast were superb, never putting a foot wrong. Fabulous.
Very funny, high energy show.
The show took a while to find its feet but the second half of this show was quite possibly the best hour of comedy I’ve ever seen. Particularly the portrayal of Gordon Brown/Saddam by Gary Trainor was incredible with comedic timing which is hard to find.
A very enjoyable and funny retelling of the Blair years. The actors were superb!
Th funniest play I have ever seen on stage. Well done to the cast, the musicians and whoever made the set.
