The words and lyrics were written by journalist and novelist Iain Hollingshead, with music by journalist Timothy Muller. Original productionBlair on Broadway opened at Highbury's Hen and Chickens Theatre on 25 October 2007. The show's critical reception, which included reviews in The Daily Telegraph,[1] The Guardian[2] and The Stage,[3] was mixed, with descriptions ranging from "a show that packs some punch" (The Telegraph) to "toothless spoof" (The Guardian). The show proved popular with audiences, with the initial run selling out.[4] On 2007-11-18, a charity gala performance of the show was staged at the Arts Theatre, off Leicester Square in the West End. The evening was hosted by Derek Jacobi in aid of the charity Children of Peace, and featured a brief cameo appearance from journalist Matthew Parris.[5][6] Arts Theatre productionThe show returns to the Arts Theatre for three weeks in January 2008, in a reduced one-hour format with no interval.[7] The run will see more cameos from well-known politicians and journalists, including MPs Bob Marshall-Andrews and Lembit Opik, former reporter and independent MP Martin Bell, author and broadcaster Melvyn Bragg, human rights activist Peter Tatchell, and journalists Rod Liddle, Polly Toynbee and Andrew Rawnsley.[4] References1. ^{{cite news | last = Spencer | first = Charles | title = Blair legend moves on to next stage | publisher = The Daily Telegraph | date = 2007-10-29 | url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/27/nblair127.xml | accessdate = 2008-01-15}} 2. ^{{cite news | last = Billington | first = Michael | title = Blair on Broadway | publisher = The Guardian | date = 2007-10-26 | url = http://politics.guardian.co.uk/arts/story/0,,2199757,00.html | accessdate = 2008-01-15}} 3. ^{{cite news | last = Shenton | first = Mark | title = Blair on Broadway | publisher = The Stage | date = 2007-10-26 | url = http://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php/18662/ | accessdate = 2008-01-15}} 4. ^1 {{cite news | last = Paddock | first = Terri | author2 = Atkins, Tom | title = Cast: Talbot in Hairspray, Jersey Boys & Blair MPs | publisher = WhatsOnStage.com | date = 2008-01-14 | url = http://www.whatsonstage.com/index.php?pg=207&story=E8821200073235 | accessdate = 2008-01-15 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080120042057/http://www.whatsonstage.com/index.php?pg=207&story=E8821200073235 | archivedate = 2008-01-20 | df = }} 5. ^{{cite news | last = Hemley | first = Matthew | title = Jacobi to present charity performance of Blair on Broadway | publisher = The Stage | date = 2007-09-26 | url = http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/18332/jacobi-to-present-charity-performance-of | accessdate = 2008-01-15}} 6. ^{{cite news | last = Tabard | title = Chit chat — Dirty politics | publisher = The Stage | date = 2007-11-19 | url = http://www.thestage.co.uk/features/feature.php/18892/chit-chat-dirty-politics | accessdate = 2008-01-15}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.blaironbroadway.com/tickets.html |title=Blair on Broadway — Book Tickets |accessdate=2008-01-15 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080108233635/http://www.blaironbroadway.com/tickets.html |archivedate=2008-01-08 |df= }} 5 : 2007 musicals|Musical comedy plays|West End musicals|Tony Blair|British musicals |
