Synopsis complet

1 Bugsy Malone s'intéresse à un personnage historique important: .


Based on the 1976 Alan Parker film, BUGSY MALONE is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the gangster films of the 1920's. Parker had the idea for a gangster film starring an all child cast in 1973, but his idea was met with very little enthusiasm in Hollywood. Eventually, he was able to raise enough money to develop the project. He commissioned the legendary Paul Williams to compose the score, and auditioned over 10,000 children. The film starred an unknown Scott Baio as Bugsy and Jodie Foster as Tallulah.

In an era when movie musicals were considered a thing of the past, BUGSY MALONE was a surprise hit. Following the film's success, Parker was deluged with requests to develop a stage version. The first incarnation of the show premiered in the West End in 1983. The cast featured children, including a young Catherine Zeta-Jones as Tallulah, but had adults doing the singing offstage. In 1997, the National Youth Music Theatre production featured children doing all the singing, dancing, acting and custard throwing. It premiered at the Queens Theatre on November 21, 1997 and featured a cast of forty.

Commentaires : Notes: This theatrical curiosity used an all-child cast to re-create the Alan Parker film, but instead of machine gun killings, the young people spray each other with splurge guns. The children handle the dialogue themselves, but then mime the songs to the off-stage singing of adults. The first Bugsy was played by Jeremy Gilley. The laws concerning performers under the age of 16 meant that the cast was constantly changing. While the show might possibly have had some value in youth companies and schools, the general view was that it had no business whatsoever to occupy a major West End theatre.
