'Look anyone will tell you, I’m a pretty straight sort of guy.' Tony Blair

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. 

A hilarious tragedy of political intrigue, religion, power, and romance that plays fast and loose with the facts, owing as much to Citizen Kane as it does to The Marx Brothers - Karl and Groucho.

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 and you’ve got one hell of a weapon of mass distraction! 

With crowd-pleasers like ‘Macro Economics’ and the haunting ballad ‘I Never Done Anything Wrong’ - it’s Yes, Minister meets The Rocky Horror Show! and a musical like no other.


"A new, fresh, multitasking musical... Rousingly magnificent" ★★★★ Observer

"A raucous spoof musical" ★★★★ Mail on Sunday

"Packed with joyfully withering mirth... I was laughing so much I struggled to swallow my beer" ★★★★★ Daily Mail

"A musical that takes a truly egalitarian approach to satire" ★★★★ Sunday Times

"Harry Hill's manic humour sweeps you along" ★★★★ The Times

"Delightful madcap entertainment" ★★★★★ Ham & High

"Pure satire that is eccentrically British, with a great rock’n’roll soundtrack and original humour" ★★★★★ Theatre Weekly

"Truly a marvellous company-effort, of which everyone should be proud" ★★★★ London Box Office 

"Delightfully chaotic fun... the perfect intimate venue to contain its wild energy" ★★★★ Musical Theatre Review

"A pacy rollercoaster ride" ★★★★ Broadway World 

"A well-constructed show with good story, great performances and a timely moral message" ★★★★ The Reviews Hub
