Grab your splurge guns and head on down to Fat Sam’s Grand Slam - the hottest speakeasy in Milton Keynes - for the riotous Bugsy Malone.
Fat Sam is in danger of being closed down by his ‘business rival’ Dandy Dan. Enter baby-faced Bugsy Malone, a killer with the ladies and a definite asset to Fat Sam. Unfortunately, Bugsy has also caught the eye of Sam’s girlfriend Tallulah – though he’s set his designs on the showgirl Blousey Brown.
Everyone’s favourite slapstick gangster musical comedy comes to Stantonbury Campus on Nov 16/17. The story follows the rivalry between two half-witted street gangs and the washed up, well-intentioned, one-time boxer who steps in to take control of Fat Sam’s gang and give Dandy Dan and his boys what they’ve got coming.
Originally written for children to perform, it explores the Roaring 20s, Prohibition and the Depression in a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the gangster movies of the thirties. About 30 youngsters ranging in age from 11-15 years from the theatre’s lively and creative youth theatre Stagestruck will be performing this gangster-themed extravaganza, set in Chicago.
Expect plenty of wisecracks and some great singing and dancing – but watch out for those splurge guns!
