In 1920’s New York, Bugsy Malone stands center stage in a flashy world of sassy showgirls, warring gangsters, and starry-eyed dreamers but all he wants is to catch the eye of starlet Blousey Brown. Enter mobster Dandy Dan and his gang who rule supreme with their ultimate weapon, a cream shooting “splurge gun.” After a brutal attack on his henchmen, Speakeasy owner Fat Sam vows revenge and calls upon Bugsy for help. Can Bugsy clean up the town and nab the girl? Don’t miss this delightful musical comedy, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the rough and tumble gangster flick.
