Great costumes for Bugsy Malone

Bugsy Malone is understandably a really popular musical chosen by many youth drama groups and schools. 

Bugsy has all the ingredients for a great show, fun and lively musical score, larger than life characters and the delightful childish playfulness that makes this such a fun show to choose for aspiring young actors.

The clothes are great too, with the opportunity to wear colourful and sparkly flapper dresses with boas and cloche hats, long beads and gloves, not to mention the excuse for a pose or two with a cigarette holder.

The boys needn't be left out - oversized pin stripe gangster suits and fedora hats, bright ties and braces for Fat Sam and Dandy Dan.

Admiral Costumes has a great selection of clothing and accessories suitable for this show. From 20's day wear, through to slinky evening dresses for Tallulah and show girl sets.
