Bugsy Malone
2nd - 4th March 2023
Based on the hit 1976 film, starring a pre-teen Scott Baio and Jodi Foster, and featuring a catchy, swinging score by the composer of The Muppet Movie, Bugsy Malone JR. is good, clean, comedic fun!
Two gangs in a fictitious city populated only by children are in a rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Dandy Dan's gang has gotten the upper hand since acquiring the "splurge" gun (a weapon that shoots whip cream). Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust into the limelight when he becomes the last chance 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 in the cards for our hero.

NODA Review
They say that the future of amateur theatre is with the younger members of societies. Well, if this is the case our future is secure with this society full of talented members. This production suited the age range of all the members involved and the company really brought it to life. Costumes looked good and the set, even though minimal did not look out of place, anymore and it would have over powered the stage. Sound was good and the orchestra were just right so that you could hear every word. The production told the story of Bugsy Malone (Jake Morgan) who gave a strong performance. The battle between Fat Sam (Louis Haywood) and Dandy Dan’s gang was excellent with Fat Sam’s gang using the splat guns against their rivals. Tallulah (Madeleine Sanderson) and Blousey Brown (Anaiya Kalla) supported Jake well and both really sang well and had great stage presence. All the other principals and chorus were great and came over really well. I am just sorry that I cannot mention you all. Well done to all of the production and back stage crew who made this production the success it was.
