The production is set to open at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton on 30 April 2024.
David Ian for Crossroads Live has announced a brand new production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is set to open in 2024.
Featuring songs by the Sherman Brothers including Toot Sweets, Hushabye Mountain, Truly Scrumptious and the Academy Award-nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, this new production based on Ian Fleming’s story for children is directed by Thom Southerland (Titanic, Parade). The creative team also includes Choreography by Karen Bruce (BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, The Bodyguard) with Set and Costume design by Morgan Large (Newsies, Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat), Orchestrations and Musical Supervision by George Dyer (The Wizard of Oz, Annie, Billy Elliot) and casting by Debbie O’Brien.
The musical follows the adventures of inventor Caractacus Potts who restores a broken-down old racing car with the help of his children Jemima and Jeremy. Soon the family discover the car has magical powers, and along with the delectable Truly Scrumptious, the family end up on a hilarious fantastical adventure to far off lands.
Casting for the production has yet to be announced.
