Bugsy Malone JR.is a one-act musical rated G, what the producers call a popular pint-sized, pin-striped classic that leaps off the silver screen and onto the stage. It  includes a child’s dream come true — a classic pie fight fought with splurge blasters that spew silly string instead of pies.

The play is based on the 1976 movie of the same name starring Jodi Foster and Scott Baio.
