Review: 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] at Park Theatre - review
However amiable this new show by Harry Hill and Steve Brown may be, it doesn't have anything new to add to the debate.
Sarah Crompton, What's On Stage, 9th June 2022Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] review
Given Boris Johnson's daily catalogue of calamities, the time does not seem especially right for satire on the bygone deeds and misdeeds of Tony Blair. But this musical comes from the childish mind of Harry Hill, so the politics almost always plays second fiddle to the silly.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 9th June 2022Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera], Park Theatre, review
This satire is about as entertaining as being repeatedly poked in the ribs by a sniggering pub bore.
Sam Marlowe, i Newspaper, 9th June 2022Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera] review
The cast works hard to make this misguided musical work, but it remains little more than an aimless old fashioned sketch show.
Keith Mckenna, British Theatre Guide, 9th June 2022Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera) review
Harry Hill puts the party into politics.
Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian, 9th June 2022Tony! The Tony Blair Rock Opera review
It's a dodgy dossier of a show which depicts New Labour's leader as the emptiest of empty suits. It is, however, very witty and tuneful too. It is, however, very witty and tuneful too. Hill, who wrote the book, has never been to everyone's taste - the little boy inside him is always desperate to make burping noises - but if you're a fan of his brand of comedy you'll warm to this venture.
Clive Davis, The Times, 9th June 2022Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera) review
Begins promisingly, then outstays its welcome - ring any bells?
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 9th June 2022Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera) review
There's not much satirical sophistication on show in this oddly-timed musical effort.
