HI Connie! Bugsy JR is unique for alot of reasons. It has period historical roots...no better way to get kids interested in that 1929 period of history, as juicy as it was, than to give them age appropriate characters that are SO MUCH FUN. Reason #2, Paul Williams wrote the score...delicious! The 1973 film was such a hit, that The National Youth Music Theater in London performed the stage versionin 1999 and a JR version was released that year. A GREAT show for boys, but if you have the typical droves of girls, they love playing gangsters as much as Tallulah's girls. Great ensemble numbers, and the "splurge gimmik" is as fresh with audiences as it is with middle school kids. This show is a great contrast for many of the others in our collection and worth a look Connie. Trivia of the day? Jodie Foster was in the original film..ha!
