The Story
Described as "the most fantasmagorical stage musical in the history of everything," this stage adaptation of the story and film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tells the adventures of a magical car as it sails the seas and flies through the air. Chitty's eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, and his enchanting children join the truly scrumptious Truly Scrumptious and batty Grandpa Potts to outwit the dastardly Baron and Baroness. The show includes such classic songs as "Truly Scrumptious," "Toot Sweets," "Hushabye Mountain," and the Oscar-nominated title song "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
History
Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang adventures were published in three separate volumes in 1964 and 1965. They were the basis for the hit 1968 musical film, with a screenplay by Roald Dahl and director Ken Hughes, and a score by the Sherman brothers. The London production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang opened in March, 2002.
