Bugsy Malone

An interesting choice for LOS; a show more usually performed by children or youth groups. The ensemble singing and dancing was up to the society's usual high standard, with some good individual performances. There were some good laughs at the slapstick and adlibbed physical comedy. However, with the show set in multi-locations some of the staging challenges were not fully overcome and, lacking the charm of children pretending to be adults, some of the scenes fell a little flat, for me. A little more pace and punch in the delivery would have lifted the show further. Good costuming, main set and props all contributed to the evening. The songs are great and the audience enjoyed this ever popular show.
