A slapstick musical comedy, Bugsy Malone follows the rivalry between two half-witted street gangs and the washed up, well intentioned, ladies man who steps in to take control of Fat Sam’s gang and give Dandy Dan and his boys what they’ve got coming.

In this film noir spoof, the message is one of good, clean fun; the characters are wonderful cartoon cutouts; and the weapons of choice are “splurge” whip cream guns, flour bombs, and custard pies. A cast of youngsters play all the parts in this tongue-in-cheek tribute to the1920s gangster flick. It seems Fat Sam, who runs one of the most popular clubs in town, 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 showgirl Blousey Brown.

Like the film, this wild and wacky musical includes a child’s dream come true: a non-violent gang war fought with “splurge blasters” which spew forth silly string! It’s a thoroughly charming concept resulting in delightfully messy fun. Written for children, Bugsy Malone Junior has a catchy, swinging score by the composer of The Muppet Movie.
