Based on the hit 1976 film and featuring a catchy, swinging score - Bugsy Malone is good, clean, fun and a masterclass in musical comedy.
It is 1929 in New York and two gangs, comprised completely of children, square off in a 1920s rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Dandy Dan's gang has gotten the upper hand since obtaining the "splurge" gun (a weapon that shoots whipped cream). Now, Fat Sam and his bumbling buffoons are in real trouble!
Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust not-so-willingly into the gangster limelight when he becomes the last chance that Fat Sam's gang has of surviving. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey, but that just isn't on the cards for our hero.
In a final splurge gun and custard pie showdown, around seventy Crewe and the surrounding area’s most talented young people aged 8-17 will ensure that this production is a sure-fire family treat!
