Bugsy Malone at Hurst Lodge

Hurst Lodge School have just performed a musical theatre production of Bugsy Malone.  Set in 1929 in New York and more particularly in Fat Sam’s Grand Slam Bar, Bugsy, Blousey Brown, Tallulah, Fizzy and a host of colourful characters fight for survival against Dandy Dan, his hoodlums and the dreaded splurge guns.  Students from year three to year thirteen have been involved in the show either as performers or as backstage support.  The students and staff all worked extremely hard learning lines, rehearsing songs and running dance routines over and over again to ensure a successful and entertaining show.  The result of all of this hard work was a fluid, fun, lively musical comedy full of colour, style and flair. The feedback from the audience has been very positive and, even with the threat of being splurged, the cheering, clapping and support has been fantastic.
