Based on the 1976 movie, BUGSY MALONE is set in 1929 in New York City where established gangster Fat Sam and newcomer Dandy Dan fight for control of the metropolis. When Dandy Dan’s gang introduces “splurge blasters” which take out opponents using silly string, it seems Fat Sam will lose. Outside of the fighting is Bugsy Malone. He is more interested in courting the beautiful Blousey Brown. He helps her get a job at the speakeasy, Fat Sam’s Grand Slam, where she performs with Fat Sam’s wise-cracking girlfriend, Tallulah. As Fat Sam’s entourage continues to get splurged, he calls his friend, Bugsy Malone to save the day.

The FMCT previously featured shows such as RENT, ANNNIE JR, CLUE: THE MUSICAL, and THE MERRY WIVES OF WAHPETON in the 2011-2012 season.
