New dates have been added to the upcoming UK tour of Tony! The Tony Blair Rock Opera, including dates in London and at the Edinburgh Fringe. 

This hilarious musical by Harry Hill and Steve Brown will run at the Leicester Square Theatre from 15 April-21 May prior to touring the country, including stops in Tony Blair’s previous constituency of Sedgefield. New dates for the tour include Birmingham Rep from 7-10 June, the Pleasance at EICC at the Edinburgh Fringe from 2-27 August and The Lowry in Salford from 2-7 October, the same week as the Conservative Party Conference is in Manchester. Further dates are to be added. 

The musical features a cast of larger than life characters including Cherie Blair, Princess Diana, John Prescott, Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell, Osama Bin Laden, George W Bush, Saddam Hussein and Gordon Brown telling the story of how one man went from peace loving hippy would be pop star to warmongering multimillionaire. It has been described as Yes, Minister meets The Rocky Horror Show.

Harry Hill and Steve Brown said: “After the great response from audiences on its launch last summer [at Park Theatre], we're thrilled that TONY! is going on the road in 2023. It’s a show for Tony Lovers and Haters everywhere - and everyone in between - don’t expect a history lesson - in our world Tony's born singing and dancing, Saddam Hussein is played as Groucho Marx and Gordon Brown occasionally turns into the Incredible Hulk - let’s just say all the facts are there... but not necessarily as they occurred!  Tony hasn't yet replied to our invite to see the show, but we do hope he'll pop along to his old stomping ground of Sedgefield to give his verdict when we open there at the Parish Hall. Tony? If you’re reading this we’ve put a couple of tickets in your name on the door.”
