The pint-sized, pinstriped classic is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the gangster films of the 1920's. Based on the hit 1976 film starring a preteen Scott Baio and Jodi Foster and featuring a catchy, swinging score by the composer of The Muppet Movie, Bugsy Malone is good, clean, comedic fun! Two gangs comprised completely of children, square off in a 1920's rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Dandy Dan's gang has gotten the upper hand since obtaining the "splurge" gun. Now Fat Sam and his bumbling buffoons are in real trouble! Bugsy Malone, a
one-time boxer, is thrust not-so-willingly into the gangster limelight, when he becomes the last chance Fat Sam's gang has of surviving. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love Blousey; but that just isn't in the cards for our hero. Bugsy Malone is a master class in musical comedy.

This year's school show sees a new batch of students becoming part of the performing team. With over 50 students auditioning, distributing parts was a difficult task for the Creative Arts team. We are so lucky to have such talented students with real confidence and flair within Baxter College. Students ranging from Year 7 to 6th form have started rehearsing for the show which has really displayed the level of commitment our students have towards extra-curricular activities here at Baxter. Being able to perform together really enables students to make new friendships and, most importantly, have fun!
