As part of our new Family Time series, bring the whole gang to the unique musical-comedy, Bugsy Malone.

Starring an entire cast of child-actors (including the ever-brilliant Jodie Foster) this gangster spoof is a film like no other. Replacing bullets with custard pies and cream from “splurge guns”, two rival gangs sing and dance their way through 1920s New York.

With its charming cast, slapstick humour, and catchy soundtrack, over the past 40 years Bugsy Malone has become known as one of the greatest movie musicals of all time. Beloved by all ages, it has been adapted into a successful West End stage show, Bugsy Malone is a must-watch for the budding musical theatre fans in your life!

Bugsy Malone is rated U, though it contains mild parody of gangland scenes. For fans of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Annie and Matilda The Musical.

Family Time screenings feature subtitles and low-level lighting for accessibility and comfort for all. Please find more information about Family Time here.
