After a number of delays, Shaftesbury Arts Centre’s Music and Drama Group are delighted to at last bring Alan Parker’s Bugsy Malone to the stage.

Set in New York in 1929, the production sees two rival gangs battling it out for domination – Fat Sam, who owns Fat Sam’s Grand Slam and Dandy Dan. When Fat Sam’s gang is brutally splurged and his empire is under severe threat, he engages the help of Bugsy Malone, a smooth talking man-about-town who has a soft spot for one of the show girls, Blousey Brown. Don’t miss seeing how the pandemonium comes to a sticky end.

October 7 to 9 and 14 to 16 all at 7.30pm. Further details at shaftesburyartscentre.org.uk. Box Office on 01747 854321.

Bob Drury’s Viva Neil Diamond Bob Drury is coming to Shaftesbury Arts Centre with his new acoustic based show celebrating the legendary Neil Diamond and his incredible back catalogue of songs. Bob Drury’s award-winning one-man show is an absolute ‘must-see’ for any Diamond fans. Prepare to be blown away by his vocal likeness which has been delighting audiences around the world combined with his stunning prowess on the guitar.

By taking some of the songs back to how they were originally written, with just voice and guitar, Bob brings a whole new dimension to the songs, particularly the beautiful guitar ballads that have a genuine depth of emotion when stripped right back. The show still includes loads of Neil Diamond’s blockbuster hits such as ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’, ‘Play Me’, ‘Hello Again’, ‘Song Sung Blue’, ‘Beautiful Noise’,
‘Red Red Wine’ and ‘Forever in Blue Jeans’ so get those voices ready to sing along!
