ID: 585926Exp: 7/12/2025
Description:

"Bugsy Malone JR." auditions are open for ages 7-18. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Two gangs in a fictitious city populated only by children are in a rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Dandy Dan's gang has gotten the upper hand since acquiring the "splurge" gun (a weapon that shoots whip cream). Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust into the limelight when he becomes the last chance Fat Sam's gang has of surviving. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey... but that just isn't in the cards for our hero. Additional info: There is nothing to prepare for this audition! Show up ready to learn a song, learn a dance, and read some lines from the script. SHOW DATES & TIMES: Thursday, September 25th at 7:30 pm Friday, September 26th at 7:30 pm Saturday, September 27th at 2:30 pm Sunday, September 28th at 2:30 pm If interested, please apply.

45 roles

BUGSY MALONEMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The hero of our story. Cast a handsome young man who can sing and act. This role is equal parts Jimmy Stewart, James Bond and Gene Kelly. Bugsy alternates as the narrator and the star of the show. A young performer comfortable in front of an audience, who radiates a sense of charm and sincerity as well as a street-wise sensibility, will take your show a long way towards success. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: C#4

BLOUSEY BROWNFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

At first the typical young, wide-eyed, would-be star, just off the bus from a small town. However, we find out that Blousey is a force to be reckoned with and certainly nobody's fool. This is a large role that requires good singing and acting, but the key to casting Blousey is finding a young actor who is at home with comedy. A young Carol Burnett type is one recommendation. Gender: Female Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: E4

FAT SAMMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The baddest of the bad guys whose biggest rival is Dandy Dan. Fat Sam should be an adept physical comedian with a commanding stage presence. Note that Fat Sam does not need to be fat. Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: G4

TALLULAHFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The classic gangster's moll; self-confident and can deliver the role with deadpan sincerity and droll appeal. Tallulah is a Mae West type with a talent for performing. She needs to be a strong singer for her self-titled number. Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: B3

DANDY DANMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The unflappably stylish, debonair underworld businessman who outwits Fat Sam every step of the way. Your Dan should be comfortable singing his song, "That's Why They Call Him Dandy." Requires an actor with just the right sense of style and grace. Vocal range top: C#5 Vocal range bottom: G3

FIZZYMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

An employee of Fat Sam’s at the Grand Slam, whose duties involve cleaning up the place. Requires an actor who can really deliver the song, “Tomorrow.” It is a difficult song that requires emotional singing and a significant range. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: C4

Roxy RobinsonMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Bronx CharlieMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

DANDY DAN'S GANG - are really bad guys. Also known as The Hoods, they sing a little, but they splurge a lot! They are suave-looking types who can pull off slicked-back hair and double-breasted suits. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: G3

LENA MARELLIFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The star of the “Lena Marelli Show!,”and she lets everyone know it. Requires a performer who can TAKE OVER THE STAGE with a strong singing voice. Lena is not very bright, but she is very loud. Think Lina Lamont from Singin' In The Rain. Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: A4

TillieFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

TALLULAH'S GIRLS - perform at the speakeasy. These girls should be very at home singing and dancing and should work well as ensemble singers. They are basically Tallulah’s gang! Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: B3

FEAUTURED ENSEMBLEBoth genders7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

These roles are featured comedic parts that do not require great singers: Oscar De Velt is the stage equivalent of Cecil B. Demille. A strong, confident actor will fit the bill here. Marbini the Magician and the Ventriloquist are two wonderfully funny smaller roles in the audition scene with Oscar De Velt. Both of them are convinced they are world famous. The Opera Singer and the other bits in this scene are all great cameos.

THE DOWN AND OUTSBoth genders7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Representative of out-of-work Depression era men and women of the soup kitchens, which include the Cooks serving in the kitchens. The Down and Outs are ready for a cause, and helping Bugsy bring peace between Fat Sam and Dandy Dan is just what the doctor ordered. Additional ensemble roles in this scene include the Priest, Clipboard Willy, and two Delivery Guys. If you have a smaller cast, you can use the splurges from earlier scenes (Fat Sam’s Gang!).
