Quick Casting Insight: Bugsy Malone Jr works best when Bugsy balances charm with sincerity, Fat Sam and Dandy Dan fully commit to exaggerated gangster comedy, and the ensemble embraces physical humor and fast-paced character work.
Bugsy Malone
Bugsy Malone is the smooth-talking hero and narrator of the musical. Equal parts charming detective, old-school movie star, and streetwise dreamer, Bugsy needs a performer comfortable commanding the stage with confidence and personality. Strong acting skills and audience connection matter just as much as vocals for this role.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: C#4–D5
Blousey Brown
Blousey arrives in town hoping to become a star but quickly proves she is smarter and tougher than people expect. This role requires excellent comedic timing, strong vocals, and natural chemistry with Bugsy. Blousey works best when played with confidence, warmth, and plenty of personality.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: E4–D5
Fat Sam
Fat Sam runs the Grand Slam speakeasy and believes he is the most dangerous gangster in town. Loud, dramatic, and hilariously overconfident, Fat Sam carries much of the show’s dialogue and comedy. This role demands strong projection, excellent diction, and fearless physical comedy.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: G4–C5
Tallulah
Tallulah is the classic gangster’s moll with confidence, style, and a flair for performance. She should be played with deadpan sincerity and comic glamour. Cast a strong singer capable of handling her featured musical moments with confidence.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: B3–B4
Dandy Dan
Dandy Dan is smooth, stylish, and far more competent than Fat Sam. Calm and calculated, he quietly takes control of the city’s underworld while staying perfectly composed. Cast a performer with strong comic restraint and polished stage presence.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: G3–C#5
Fizzy
Fizzy works at Fat Sam’s Grand Slam and dreams of something better while cleaning up after everyone else. His emotional solo “Tomorrow” requires one of the show’s strongest singers. Fizzy should feel hopeful, sincere, and emotionally grounded amid the comedy.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: C4–D5
Fat Sam’s Gang
Fat Sam’s Gang includes Roxy Robinson, Angelo, Snake Eyes, Ritzy, Shake Down Louis, Knuckles, and additional gang members. These roles thrive on slapstick comedy, exaggerated gangster behavior, and physical humor. Schools often expand this group to involve more performers.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: C4–D5
Dandy Dan’s Gang
Also known as The Hoods, Dandy Dan’s Gang includes Bronx Charlie, Benny Lee, Yonkers, Laughing Boy, Doodle, and additional gangsters. Unlike Fat Sam’s crew, these performers should appear slick, polished, and intimidating while still fitting the show’s comic tone.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: G3–D5
Lena Marelli
Lena Marelli is the over-the-top star of “The Lena Marelli Show!” Loud, dramatic, and hilariously self-important, Lena is perfect for a performer willing to completely dominate every scene she enters. Strong vocals and huge personality are essential.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A4–F5
Tallulah’s Girls
Tallulah’s Girls include Tillie, Loretta, Dotty, Bangles, and additional nightclub performers. These roles require strong singers and dancers comfortable with group choreography and comic performance. Bangles has the largest featured dialogue role among the girls.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: B3–D5
Featured Ensemble Roles
Oscar De Velt, Marbini the Magician, the Ventriloquist, the Opera Singer, and other featured audition characters create some of the show’s funniest cameo moments. These are excellent opportunities for performers with strong comic instincts and bold character work.
Gender: Any
The Down and Outs
The Down and Outs represent struggling Depression-era citizens gathered around soup kitchens and city streets. These performers eventually help Bugsy attempt to bring peace between the rival gangs. Ensemble members in this section include Cooks, the Priest, Clipboard Willy, Delivery Guys, and additional featured characters.
Gender: Any
Additional Ensemble Roles
Featured ensemble roles include the Radio Announcer, Paper Boy or Girl, Razmataz, Maître D’s, Elegantly Dressed Lady, Waitress, Louella, Butler, Trumpet Player on Roller Skates, Pop Becker, Barber, Flash Frankie, Waiters, Candy Cigarette Girls, Speakeasy Customers, Chorus Girls, and additional gamblers. Many of these roles can be doubled in smaller casts while still giving performers memorable moments.
Gender: Any
