REHEARSALS have been in full flow ahead of a show this weekend.

This year the Junior DODS is Bugsy Malone, which will be performed at the Chantry Centre this weekend from Thursday, July 6 to Saturday, July 8.

The cast of 45 ranging in ages from 11-18 have been working hard since January to bring residents this fun, energetic and messy show.

It is 1929 in New York and the city is divided by gang warfare.

On one side, Dandy Dan’s mob terrorise the district, taking out those they turn against with their new splurge guns.

On the other side, Dandy Dan’s rival, Fat Sam, runs his successful Grand Slam Speakeasy.

There, he deals with business and enjoys the attentions of his girlfriend, the seductive Tallulah.

However Sam is jealous of Dandy Dan’s gang as he still uses old-fashioned custard pies to take out their victims.

When Fat Sam’s gang is brutally splurged and his empire under severe threat, he engages the help of Bugsy Malone, a smooth-talking man about town.

While Bugsy simultaneously attempts to woo Blousey Brown, the new-girl singer in town, he helps Fat Sam steal a fresh delivery of splurge guns from Dandy Dan.

To say any more would spoil the fun!
