KODYS – (A)
Wed 26 Jun – Fri 28 Jun 2013

KODY'S is delighted to present its third full–scale musical production, Bugsy Malone, at the Rose Theatre. A slapstick musical comedy following the rivalry between two half–witted street gangs and the washed up, well–intentioned, one–time boxer who steps in to take control of Fat Sam's gang and give Dandy Dan and his boys what they've got coming. The message is one of good, clean fun, the characters are wonderful 1920's cartoon cut–outs and the weapons of choice are 'splurge' whip cream guns, flour bombs, and custard pies. The music will have you singing along, with many memorable favourites, My Name is Tallulah, Fat Sam's Grand Slam and the wonderful Finale , You Give a Little Love.

An absolutely delicious piece to get your teeth into, Oh What A Lovely War is a satire of World War I but its messages and warnings are, it seems, timeless. The realities of war have not changed, even if the methods of conducting it have. Using humour and popular songs of the time, we present a tribute to the real heroes : the aptly titled cannon fodder.
