Life Of An Actress

For Bugsy Malone I am playing a paper girl as well as a dancing girl. Which means that I have to play two very different charters. I start off as a dancing girl during Fat Sam's Grand Slam and then run back on as a paper girl two seconds later unfortunately. I love the dance that I am doing and am gland to have a few solo lines as the papergirl. I also love watching the boxing scene because it so full of energy. I am looking forward performing this at the end of it!

Mary the Papergirl

For Passion Projects 2018 I am doing Musical Theatre we are doing Bugsy Malone. I am playing a papergirl. To get into character we had to think about who they are. I chose the name Mary because it popular in the 1920's. She is 13, coming from a poor family Mary started work at 7, she recently got a job as a papergirl pretending to be a boy. She is anxious to be able to get enough money to keep her family alive. Also here a link to a website of the basic history of paperboys.
