Traditionally a show starring children, the Copthorne Players are giving older actors a chance to star in the show, some of whom performed in the junior production as youngsters six years ago.
Megan Birch was 10 when she took to the stage as Lena Marrelli.
This year she'll being singing and dancing in the chorus and as Fizzy, the ever-hopeful hoofer who spends her days cleaning up Fat Sam's bar while waiting for her big break.
Megan says: "Bugsy Malone is essentially a kids' play, but you can add so many more levels with an adult cast. And I reckon both casts are equally childlike!"
