⭐ TONY! [THE TONY BLAIR ROCK OPERA] – BY HARRY HILL & STEVE BROWN – WORLD PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR PARK THEATRE ⭐
The world premiere of Harry Hill and Steve Brown’s anarchic, satirical rock opera about the former Labour leader Tony Blair has been announced for Park Theatre.
From stand-up comedian and TV legend Harry Hill and his long-time collaborator Steve Brown comes the premiere of the rock opera the world has been crying out for: 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. It’s Yes, Minister meets The Rocky Horror Show!, a hilarious tragedy of political intrigue, religion, power, and romance that plays fast and loose with the facts, complete with songs such as ‘Macro Economics’ and and the haunting ballad ‘I Never Did Anything Wrong’.
Charting Tony’s meteoric rise to his stark shift in public opinion, the show is laden with larger-than-life characters such as Princess Diana, John Prescott, Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell, Osama Bin Laden, George W Bush, Saddam Hussein and Gordon Brown. It’s one hell of a weapon of mass distraction!
Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] has a book by Harry Hill with music & lyrics by Steve Brown. It will be directed by Peter Rowe, with choreography by Francesca Jaynes, set & costume design by Libby Watson and sound design by Andre T.
Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] will play Park Theatre, running from 1st June – 9th July 2022, with tickets on sale now.
