First look: Bugsy Malone The Musical on tour and in London

New production photos have been revealed for Bugsy Malone The Musical’s ongoing tour ahead of its stop in London.

The show, which is currently touring the UK, will play a limited Christmas season at Alexandra Palace from 3 December 2022 to 15 January 203.

Based on the iconic 1976 movie, Bugsy Malone The Musical is written by Alan Parker, with music and words by Paul Williams.

A revival of the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre’s Olivier award-nominated production directed by Sean Holmes and choreographed by Drew McOnie, the tour is currently playing at Milton Keynes Theatre.

Welcome to New York 1929! 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 the new-fangled “splurge” gun is causing mayhem.

Enter Bugsy Malone, a penniless one-time boxer and all-round nice guy. All he wants is to spend time with his new love, Blousey, but can he resist seductive songstress Tallulah and stay out of trouble long enough to help Fat Sam 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, this fun-filled and riotous musical comedy offers the perfect festive treat for all the family.
