Cast Announced for Bugsy Malone
Meet the cast for the blockbuster family musical, Bugsy Malone, at The Rep 27 Jun – 14 Aug.
The production is a fully professional revival of London’s Lyric Hammersmith Theatre’s universally acclaimed, sell-out show produced by Theatre Royal Bath Productions, Birmingham Rep and Kenny Wax.
The world-famous musical, Bugsy Malone is based on the hit 1976 movie by Alan Parker who’s long catalogue of films have won nineteen BAFTA® awards, ten Golden Globes® and six Oscars®. 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 masterclass of musical comedy with one of the most joyously uplifting finales in musical theatre.
Alan Parker’s world-famous 1976 movie Bugsy Malone launched the careers of Jodie Foster and Scott Baio and received eight BAFTA® nominations and three Golden Globe® nominations including Best Motion Picture for a Musical.
