Bugsy Malone is an amazing adaption of the original 1976 musical film<\/a> filled with all the comedy and slapstick jokes you could possibly want in a night out.<\/p>\n

The cast was on point and on pitch the whole night, which is amazing considering they range from ages nine to 22.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you but I don’t know many youngsters who’ve adapted an American accent, intense attitudes and strong\u00a0vocals.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s easy to confuse this production with “youth theatre” but they are nothing if not professional and exciting to watch. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing from the slapstick comedy to the actors talking directly to the audience during a scene change. And the stage was something of itself, the moody set with pop-out bar, sparkling lights for Fat Sam’s Speakeasy and, my favourite, the “bicycle car.”<\/p>\n

Now you can experience Bugsy Malone in the newly renovated Lyric theatre<\/a> and be sure to get there early to have drinks and dinner on the rooftop garden. Or better yet enjoy a drink and bar bites at intermission while gearing up for part two and the finale number!<\/p>\n

This is definitely a must see and if you haven’t seen the original movie I recommend you check that out too, if nothing but for the laughs of seeing a group of children playing gangsters, mobsters and getting pied in the face.
