Set in 1929 in New York’s criminal underworld, Mob boss Fat Sam is under threat from Dapper Dan’s new gang and their latest weapon – the dreaded splurge gun! His only hope is Bugsy Malone, a washed up but well meaning boxer who is thrust into the gangster limelight. With twists, turns, gangsters, showgirls and splurge fights galore the plot unfolds leading to a spectacular showdown at Fat Sam's Grand Slam!

If you are between 9-18 and want to be part of the Bugsy Malone company or work behind the scenes. Then you should go along to the open auditions on Saturday April 25 at the Theatre Royal in Glasgow.

Following the auditions, places will be offered on the Stage Experience two week course (fees apply), from Monday 20 July until Saturday 1 August. Led by industry professionals, these rehearsals will culminate in three live performances of Bugsy Malone on the Theatre Royal stage.
