Bugsy Malone
Introduction
The success of this production by Brighton & Hove Operatic Society, in which all the cast were children, prompted the formation of BHOS Youth (renamed City Youth Theatre COmpany in 2007).
The story
New York, 1929, a war rages between two rival gangsters, Fat Sam and Dandy Dan. Dan is in possession of a new and deadly weapon, the dreaded 'splurge gun'. As the custard pies fly, Bugsy Malone, an all-round nice guy, falls for Blousey Brown, a singer at Fat Sam’s speakeasy. His designs on her are disrupted by the seductive songstress Tallulah who wants Bugsy for herself. Can Bugsy get the girl and help Fat Sam defend his business against the deadly Dan and his dastardly tricks?
