The pie-flinging, pinstripe-wearing, pint-sized classic has finally made it to the musical stage in this adaptation of the hit film that catapulted a young Jodie Foster to stardom!  In this film noir spoof, the message is one of good fun; the characters are wonderful cartoon cutouts; and the weapons of choice are "splurge" whip cream guns, flour bombs, and custard pies.  Members of the act 1program will play Prohibition-era mobsters in this tongue-in-cheek tribute to the 1920s gangster flick.  It seems Fat Sam, who runs one of the most popular speakeasies in town, is in danger of being closed down by his "business rival" Dandy Dan.  Enter baby-faced Bugsy Malone, a definite asset to Fat Sam.  UnfortunatelyBugsy has also caught the eye of Sam's girlfriend Tallulah though he's set his designs on the showgirl Blousey Brown.
