                          The Story

                          New York is the scene of gangland  warfare.  Fat Sam Stacetto and his Dumb Bums versus Madison May and her Hot Broads… the latter currently have the advantage thanks to their “new” super weapon…  Bugsy Malone
                           is called in to advise Fat Sam.

                          Meanwhile Bugsy is falling for Blousey Brown, a new aspirant singer in Fat Sam’s Speak Easy despite his earlier dalliance with the star of the Grand Slam… Tallulah.

                          Thanks to the help of Leroy Smith and a group of amateur hoodlums recruited from Cagey Joe’s local gym… Fat Sam finally takes on the Broads.

                          The Director's Vision

                          Our version of Bugsy is going to be a bit of an adventure… unusually performed by adults and not children or youths, and that gives us a lot of scope for a grown-up and more raunchy approach…

                          The show is essentially a spoof on the gangster movie genre and gives us huge scope for caricature and a “comic” strip performance style.
