Lisdoonvarna students bring Bugsy Malone to life

STUDENTS from Mary Immaculate Secondary School, Lisdoonvarna take to the stage at the Pavilion Theatre with their production of Bugsy Malone next week. This fast-moving musical features a large cast of male and female characters with dance troupes in great costumes, singing memorable songs. Bugsy Malone is a show for all ages.
Bugsy Malone, played by Mark O Donnell, lives on the Lower East side of New York. He spends his life trying to keep on the straight and narrow. One day he bumps into Blousey Brown, played by Marie Carkill, who intends to become a famous singer. Bugsy falls for her and fills her with dreams of Hollywood and stardom. She finally gets her big break singing in Fat Stacetto’s (played by Kieran Thynne) speakeasy.
Although the show portrays the lives of hoodlums and gangsters, not one bullet in fired in anger. Weapons include cream pies and splurge guns, so the students promise lots of sticky situations.
The show takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, at 8pm. The matinées for primary schools will be held on Monday and Wednesday at 11.30am.
