“Look anyone will tell you, I’m a pretty straight sort of guy.” – Tony Blair Nicholson Green Productions presents the Park Theatre production of TONY! The Tony Blair Rock Opera By Harry Hill & Steve Brown 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 musical 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. ‘Harry Hill puts the party into politics’ – The Guardian ***** Daily Mail ***** Theatre Weekly **** Observer **** The Times ****The Sunday Times **** Mail on Sunday **** London Box Office **** Musical Theatre Review **** The Reviews Hubs **** Broadway World ‘This is a colossally tasteless show’ – The New European
