3.0 out of 5 stars For Die-Hard Bugsy Fans Only, January 19, 2000

By 

Fan of the Movie (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bugsy Malone (Audio CD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bugsy Malone is definetely a big hit!, February 10, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bugsy Malone (Audio CD)

To all who want to buy this CD - I have bought it myself and am absolutely addicted! My Performing Arts Academy are putting on Bugsy Malone, and so i got this CD for help (as i am playing Blousey Brown). The songs are just amazing - the children have very strong voices and present the music very entertainingly. All of the numbers are great - although my only criticism is that the Bugsy Malone song is not as good as in the film, but apart from that, it's great fun for all.

This soundtrack is very High school musical like, and I played Fat Sam in my school's production of this classic. The music is great, Twenties style, Williams does an amazing job. I particulary enjoy the song "That's why they call him Dandy!" Very catchy. I actually liked how our Dandy Dan sang it better, but it is an awesome song, and overall an awesome CD.
