Free Music Notes for Bugsy Malone
Free Music Review: Way better than the film!
Hit: 4 Stars
I started gettin interested in this musical when my school announced it would be our next major production! So, in preparation i bought the film and this CD album version! Even though the film is now a classic, i think it needs modernising and i think the National Youth Theatre would be a great choice! Talullah and Dandy Dan excell theirselves for their ages! So i auditioned and was offered the part of Dandy Dan! In stupidity i thought i would get to sing my favourite song from the album - That's Why They Call Him Dandy Dan, however, i soon learned that we couldn't! All the film's classics are there with one or two extras. The arousing version of Fat Sam's Grand Slam will get anyone's foot tapping along, and the three part harmonies of Bugsy Malone shine through the famous melody. I personally do not like the version of I'm Feeling Fine. Bugsy's voice is absolutely appauling, perhaps due to the fact that his counter melody is so low. All in all, a good little buy and a must for all Bugsy Malone fans!Free Music Review: Correction

I'd written a review about this soundtrack last year, shown on this page. I hadn't realized the soundtrack listed wasn't the original movie soundtrack. I haven't heard the import version, and so cannot review it. Oops. :)I've been contacted by a few people looking for the original recording. Well, I had a copy of the original soundtrack on an LP. I've loaned it an Amazon reader and Busgy Malone enthusiast and am now looking forward to getting it back, someday. So if you've got a bloodhound to spare, drop me a line and maybe we can talk. :)

I must admit, my school recently did this play so I am partial to the the music but it really is a great musical in my opinion. Problem is on this album, there are a few children who don't know how to blend with the rest of the ensemble. And, a few songs have re-written a bit which I didn't like but, the melodies are the same and the most of the songs are quite good. I would say I'd recommend it but only if you've seen or been in the play or movie.Free Music Review: Bugsy Malone

I am currently playing the role of Dandy Dan in the Palo Alto Children's Theatre's production of Bugsy Malone, so I know the music. And the children in this revival have a lot of talent and do a great job performing a wonderful musical!Free Music Review: For Die-Hard Bugsy Fans Only
Hit: 3 Stars
I was seeking the soundtrack to the original 1976 movie Bugsy Malone, but everywhere I looked, the label seemed to be out of stock. Don't make the mistake of ordering this one instead. I'd have to agree with one of the other reviewers - this production has a distinct high school musical flavour to it, albeit a very good one. Paul William's original arrangements have been revamped for this revival production, rendering some of the musical's trademark tunes unrecognisable. The two that spring to mind are 'Bad Guys' and the finale - You Give A Little Love. If it wasn't for the fact that it was Williams himself that did the revamping, many fans would not be inclined to give this new sound a chance. Having said this, the adolescent singers are very talented, and die-hard Bugsy fans will delight in the new songs finally being brought to the stage. After a long search, I was thankful to find the original movie soundtrack in a mainstream music store one day. Make the effort to find it - it is worth it.
