British Comedy Guide, 9th December 2022Theatre review: Tony [The Tony Blair Rock Opera], Park Theatre
I had misgivings about how they were going to make Blair into a comic figure given that he is best remembered by many for taking the UK into the Iraq war, but Hill and Brown successfully find the balance between being as stupid as a panto and as seriously poiltical as Brecht or Dario Fo.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th June 2022Review: Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera], Park Theatre
Classic Harry Hill - funny, surreal and clever.
Joe Scholes, Everything Theatre, 11th June 2022Harry Hill's musical takes bite out of Blair
Clearly this won't be to everyone's taste - least of all Tony's - and many who voted for him may also find it hard to stomach. But this terrific show is all the better for it.
Patrick Marmion, Daily Mail, 10th June 2022Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera) review
There's not much satirical sophistication on show in this oddly-timed musical effort.
