The Little Theatre On The Square Drama Students

present The Broadway Junior Collection Production -

Bugsy I

Malone Jr. P. Performed by students age 5-18 of The Little Theatre On The Square's Drama Program, this mus~cal spoof IS every kid's dream: a shoot-'em-up gan$ster show, full of action and phys~cal comedy, where no one gets hurt and everyone gets to play tough.

Bugsy Malone Jr. is set in an East Coast speakeasy called Fat Sam's Grand Slam. owned by Fat Sam, a smooth-talking operator. Fat Sam constantly laments the lack of brains in his gang and complains about the incessant knucklecracking of his sidekick, appropriately nicknamed Knuckles.

Fat Sam's empire is threatened by his main rival, Dandy Dan, whose gang, with the help of yards of Silly String, manages to thin the ranks of Fat Sam's followers down to one.

It looks like the end for Fat Sam until the sweet-faced Bugsy Malone steps in to smooth things over - and to work out the tangled romances that involve aspiring singer-dancer Blousey Brown and the star at Fat Sam's club, Tallulah.

Follow these two rival gangs who in the end realize that all they need to do is work together and Give A Little Love to solve all of their problems.

An exuberant gangster musical for guys and dolls of all ages, this is a charming, irreverent and clean (though delightfully messy) showcase for the whole family, directed by Marie Jagger-Taylor, with the book by Alan Parker and a catchy honky-tonk score by Paul Williams, composer of The Muppet Movie.
