The Masqueraders Theatrical Society present the Gershwin Musical, Crazy For You at the Abbey Theatre, Nuneaton from 21 to 23 May 2026. Also, Alan Parker’s Bugsy Malone on 20 May at 7.30pm and 23 May at 1pm performed by the Masqueraders Juniors.

Preview

 

Crazy For You is a high energy romantic musical comedy featuring a fabulous score by George and Ira Gershwin and based on the book by Ken Ludwig. It follows Bobby Child, a stage-struck banker with dreams of dancing on Broadway. When he’s sent to a sleepy Nevada town to foreclose on a rundown theatre, he falls head over tap shoes for local girl Polly and hatches a wild plan to save the theatre by putting on a show!

Featuring classic songs like I Got Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me, and They Can’t Take That Away from Me, this all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza is pure musical magic. With dazzling choreography, laugh-out-loud comedy, and a heart full of rhythm, Crazy for You is guaranteed to leave you grinning from ear to ear!

Bugsy Malone performed by MTS Juniors. Get ready for a splurge-filled, toe-tapping trip to the roaring twenties! MTS Juniors bring the streets of New York to life in Bugsy Malone, the madcap musical where gangsters and showgirls are played entirely by kids, and the custard pies fly as fast as the jokes.


Meet Bugsy, the smooth-talking hero caught between rival gangs led by the bumbling Fat Sam and the slick Dandy Dan. As chaos reigns and splurge guns fire, Bugsy just wants to stay out of trouble… and maybe win the heart of the lovely Blousey Brown.

Packed with Alan Parker’s unforgettable songs - including Fat Sam’s Grand Slam, Bad Guys, and You Give a Little Love - this family favourite promises laughter, music, and plenty of good old-fashioned fun. Join us for an evening of fizz, feathers and full-on fun as the talented young performers of MTS Juniors show that they really can give a little love and it all comes back to you!
