Bugsy Malone The Musical UK Tour Review

Bugsy Malone was a movie I absolutely loved when I was growing up. I probably had no idea what the movie was about at the time however I absolutely loved the soundtrack. I remember I used to come home from school and pop the movie on and fast forward to all the singing parts. I used to drive my mum and dad crazy. So when I read that Bugsy Malone - The Musical was doing a UK tour I hoped it was heading to our local theatre and it was so we booked tickets and waited for the date to come around. It was worth the wait. 

Bugsy Malone - The Musical UK Tour

Prohibition era, New York. A city full of mobsters, showgirls and dreamers. Rival gangster bosses Fat Sam and Dandy Dan are at loggerheads. The custard pies are flying and Dandy Dan’s gang has gotten the upper hand since obtaining the new-fangled “splurge” gun. Now, Fat Sam and his bumbling buffoons are in real trouble!

Enter Bugsy Malone, a penniless one-time boxer and all-round nice guy. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey, but will he be able to resist seductive songstress Tallulah and stay out of trouble long enough to help Fat Sam to defend his business…?

Packed with instantly recognisable songs from Oscar winner Paul Williams including My Name is Tallulah, You Give a Little Love and Fat Sam’s Grand Slam, Bugsy Malone is a joyously uplifting masterclass of musical comedy.

Bugsy Malone The Musical recommends all guests to the theatre are aged 8 and above. It has an approximate running time of 2 hours incl. interval.

Bugsy Malone The Musical was everything I wanted it to be. It instantly took me back to my childhood days when I wanted to be Tallulah and knew all the words to Fat Sam's Grand Slam. The show is full of energy with some standout performances and choreography. 

Unfortunately the show came to an end after it's Liverpool date however I am sure it will be touring the UK again very soon and if it does I wouldn't hesitate to grab tickets.
