Why See Bugsy Malone?

MusicalsFamily Shows

'Cos they're the best at being bad guys!

Due to popular demand, the Lyric Hammersmith is reviving their splurge-tastic stage adaptation of Sir Alan Parker's 1976 gangster musical and taking it on tour! This Olivier nominated production is a delight, with plenty of glitz and glamour, leading The Telegraph to label it razzmatazz perfection'.

What a story

Set in prohibition-era Chicago, Bugsy Malone is the story of a broke boxing promoter caught in the middle of a war between rival gangs, one headed by his best pal Fat Sam who runs a raucous speak-easy, full of dancing girls and rambunctious gangsters, including the flirtatious Tallulah, a showgirl, who's got eyes for Bugsy, much to the chagrin of his new girlfriend, Blousey Brown.

A riot of splurge guns and beloved songs from Paul Williams, including 'So you wanna be a Boxer' and 'You give a little love', Bugsy is an enjoyable romp, with young actors taking on the hapless gangsters with infectious and energetic glee!
