My name is Melone. Bugsy Melone ( A.K.A Musical Theatre= Busy Malone)

Musical Theatre

The year 9-10 have doth been blessed with have another chance of being in the year 7-8 passion projects ( it was called The Arts Kete but it’s changed). At all my years of doing this topic I alway choose Musical Theatre and I’m thankful for that. So this year I chose Musical Theatre again and the Musical we are doing is Bugsy Melone that was set in the 1920’s. 



Back Story: Bugsy Melone was set in the 1920’s as a mafia type of setting were there are guns but in stead of buliets and guns it’s replaced with whipped cream and cannon guns. Characters are : Bugsy,Blousey,Tallulah , Fat Sam, Danny Dan , Louella , and more.

The Character I’m playing is the lead roll, Bugsy Melone. Bugsy is a 15 year old kid where he is stuck in the middle because his father is Irish and his mother is Italian so he can’t choose which culture to identify as. He is a very known to all the people in the town, he’s normally talks to fat Sam, Tallulah and now a new person in his life named Blousey. He is a smooth talker and a nice guy in general.


How to channel that character: You got to have like a New York type of accent, smooth guy, look like a gentleman, be nice and respectful.

  1. Kia Ora Meagan, congratulations on landing the lead role. I look forward to seeing you shine on the stage. How do you think you'll play this character this year? Have you thought about the way you'll move/walk etc?
