A play by Alan Parker with Words and Music by Paul Williams. 1929, Gangster warfare in New York - Dandy Dans hoodlums are terrorising the city with their new weapon splurge guns! Fat Sam, owner of the Grand Slam Speakeasy brings in Bugsy Malone (a smooth city slicker who is far more interested in sweet-talking Blousey Brown, a would-be singer) to help him defeat his rival. But things do not run smoothly.....In fact, they get very, VERY messy!! Published by Warner Chappell Music .
