I had the weighty responsibility of filling the fake splurge gun with talcum powder (we couldn&#8217;t use actual splurge for obvious reasons). Talcum powder proved not much better, as if you use it in enough volume it compacts to form a pretty slippery surface. Who knew!?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, no such problem should affect this week&#8217;s guests, Jess and Suzanne from Shenfield Operatic Society, AKA Tallulah and Laughing Girl, in their production of Bugsy. They&#8217;ve got proper approved splurge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-101755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixfm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Jess-Suzanne-and-me-848x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"848\" height=\"412\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jess (Tallulah), Suzanne (Laughing girl) and me!<\/p>\n<p>Listen back to my interview with them below &#8211; you&#8217;ll find the whole show here but they&#8217;re on from just after halfway through:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/naomi-sayers\/embed\/episodes\/We-could-have-been-anything-that-we-wanted-to-be-e49mqb\" width=\"400px\" height=\"102px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can catch Bugsy Malone from Wednesday 26 to Saturday 29th June at the Queen\u2019s Theatre, Hornchurch.
