Written by Kevin Rennie on June 20, 2013
Did you miss Kevin Rennie’s interview with the cast and crew of St. Joseph’s College Summer Production, Bugsy Malone? If so you missed a great interview as they told us all about their upcoming show, as well as a bit about what’s involved in drama productions. If you missed it it’s well worth a Listen to, whether you’re interested in the show, or you’re a budding dramatist – there’s something there for you too!
St. Joseph’s College pupils have been working hard in preparation for this years’ school show, Bugsy Malone. This fast moving and funny play is set in 1929 New York City and captures a flashy world of would-be hoodlums, showgirls, and dreamers. The musical is loosely based on the events of New York City in the Prohibition period.
Lead character Bugsy is being played by Calum Michael, with Poppy Fitzpatrick playing lead female Blousey. Pupils have been rehearsing together since November, an enjoyable experience for many. Emily Davies (Ritzy), said, “Our rehearsals of Bugsy Malone have been going great with all the help of students and teachers!”
Natalie Doidge (Snake Eyes) said, “It’s been a really good opportunity, I’ve met so many new people and had such as good time. I hope we do something like this next year!”
It is sure to be a couple of entertaining evenings, with plenty of razzmatazz and laughs, in amongst splurge action from the gangs guns!
If you’d like to go along to see the show and support a great local school as the students showcase all of their hard work from the previous months then Bugsy Malone is showing tonight (20th June) and Friday (21st June) with doors open at 7PM for 7.30PM. Tickets are £6 for adults, and £3 for concessions with family tickets available for £15 (saving £3). For more information or to book tickets telephone the school office on 01387 261077.
