Comedian Harry Enfield will play Sir Tony Blair in Prince Andrew: The Musical, Channel 4 has revealed as it released more details about the show. Kieran Hodgson, previously announced as the Duke of York, will lead a cast of comics in an hour-long programme described as a “satirical send-up of the life and times” of Andrew set to seven original musical numbers.
Two Doors Down star Hodgson, who wrote the musical with Freddie Tapner, said: “The story of Prince Andrew is tragedy and farce rolled into one, so why not add ‘musical’ for good measure? Some might find the prospect of writing and performing their first TV musical a tad daunting. Not me. I found it completely terrifying.
“But we’ve pulled out all the stops, put every penny on screen and let rip at an institution that would perhaps prefer us to forget about all this. Also, I’m on a trampoline for a bit. Enjoy, world.”
