Bugsy Malone

I have always loved the film version of Bugsy Malone and I think the show contains some really great songs, some of my genuine favourites, so I was really looking forward to this one.

This undoubtedly talented group of young actors produced amazing songs and excellent dance routines but sadly, for me, the show fell flat between these high points - the acting simply wasn't strong or directed enough to engage me or make me care about the characters. That said, a packed auditorium gave the show a resounding reception and I certainly had a good night out.
