Bugsy Malone Jr. Showkit

Duration: Approximately 60 Minutes Grades: Middle School and Youth Theatre Format: Broadway Junior 60-Minute Musical Cast Size: Flexible large cast with expandable gangs and chorus Overview / Synopsis Bugsy Malone JR. is a fast, funny, and family-friendly Broadway Junior musical based on the hit 1976 film starring a young Scott Baio and Jodie Foster. With a catchy, swinging score by Paul Williams, composer of The Muppet Movie, this show gives young performers a playful 1920s-inspired comedy full of charm, music, and harmless “splurge” gun chaos. In a world where all the gangsters are kids, two rival groups battle for control. Dandy Dan’s gang has gained the upper hand with the infamous “splurge” gun, leaving Fat Sam and his bumbling crew in serious trouble. Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer who would rather stay out of the spotlight, suddenly becomes Fat Sam’s last hope. All Bugsy really wants is to spend time with Blousey Brown, but trouble keeps pulling him back into the action. With speakeasy singers, comic gangsters, dancing chorus girls, and plenty of larger-than-life characters, Bugsy Malone JR. is good, clean, comedic fun for school productions. The chorus can be expanded by adding more members to Fat Sam’s gang, Dandy Dan’s gang, and the Grand Slam Girls, making this a strong option for schools with large casts or students who love high-energy character work.
