REVIEW: Bugsy Malone, Lyric Hammersmith ✭✭✭✭✭
The real spark behind this production is Drew McOnie’s blistering choreography. Even though the cast is probably the youngest around, this is the best devised and performed choreography I have seen all year (the only other contender, In the Heights, is another McOnie production).

Composer Alan Parker said: “I’ve always loved that Bugsy Malone is performed so often as a play in schools but, to be honest, I never ever liked the previous professional on-stage versions. In fact, in recent years, I have actively discouraged professional productions. However, meeting a few times with Sean… and listening to his excellent ideas, I decided to give a stage production my blessing.” Sean Holmes added: “Bugsy Malone feels like the perfect show with which to open the new Lyric.
