Bugsy Malone The Musical has been in full swing at Ally Pally Theatre since the beginning of December, and hundreds have already come through our speakeasy’s doors to enjoy this riotous festive treat.
We’ve put together some pictures as well as audience reactions and reviews below to encourage you to pay us a visit before the limited run is over if you haven’t seen the show yet, or remind yourselves of the good times if you have! But first, a quick reminder of what Bugsy Malone The Musical is all about…
The Story
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…?
The Music
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.
In case you need a reminder, here’s a handy playlist!

Absolutely loved @BugsyTheMusical at Ally Pally. A lovely, feel good show that I highly recommend seeing. A very talented cast, complimented by a great production, had the audience on their feet. pic.twitter.com/H82BKcK9yC

What an absolutely brilliant show.
Every member of the cast was superb. Hands down the best musical I have seen in years…. sensational.
My two kids, 8 & 10, just had their minds blown.
