Tony Blair ! A ROCK Opera

Boris in Panto makes more sense tbh, but who knows, the strangest subject matter has gone on to huge success.

A more interesting idea would have been an alternate-reality story in which Tony Blair becomes a rock star instead of a politician. Gordon Brown joins Blair's band on bass guitar, and is a brooding presence throughout the climb to fame, the years of chart success, and the gradual decline. Eventually the two split the band, with the usual ensuing court cases, rival touring groups, spells in rehab, and a disastrous one-off reunion, during which Brown throws his bass guitar at Blair, who dies on-stage. A horrified young fan called David Cameron is watching ....
 
Surely Tony will make a controversial duet with an American singer and be forced out of the band. The song will be about a supposedly real demon called Sadman Who'sSane? who's out to get everyone but love triumphs in the end with its laser guided missiles.

Brown takes over lead vocals but proves unpopular with his rock versions of Scottish Calvinist hymns.

It's so ridiculous it just might work. Practically writes itself.

Things Can Only Get Better would make a great sing-along ending to the show :D
 
That would work too. Or maybe a re-make of Brokeback Mountain, with Blair and Bush. 'Tony was a shy ex-public schoolboy with political ambitions, George was a brash American with a drink problem. Their friendship became ever more intense, until it culminated in tragedy for both of them'

Keep it for the encore.
