CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG - A TRULY SPECTACULAR SHOW!
Posted on
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the Musical is based on Ian Fleming’s timeless story for children and was later made into the famous 1968 film. The kind and slightly absent-minded inventor Caractacus Potts has already made numerous creations but not all are successful first time round. With the help of his children, Jemima and Jeremy, he restores a broken-down old racing car which the family soon discovers has magical powers.
Things aren't quite plain sailing though as the car has caught the attention of the Baron and Baroness of Vulgaria and poor Grandpa Potts gets kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity. So the family and the delectable Truly Scrumptious go on fantastical adventure to save him! Once there, they discover that children are banned and poor Jemima and Jeremy are hunted by the evil childcatcher. With the help of the toymaker, Mr Potts saves the day and rescues all the children.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a thoroughly entertaining show with an outstanding cast, stunning vocals, musical numbers that everyone knows, dazzling visual effects and an impressive set design. It was such a joy to be taken into their wonderfully fantastical world for a few hours and the highlight had to be watching Chitty take to the sky.
A few words from Dorsetnanny: "This truly scrumptious classic show has it all, a great cast, fun, plenty of laughs, wonderful music and the icing on the cake being the legendary Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car. Lively performance from all, it brought back happy memories of this 60's classic. Well done everyone for such a fantastic performance."
