A brand new production of the most fantasmagorical musical of all time flies into the Grand Opera House for two weeks only!

This much-loved family favourite stars Adam Garcia  (Wicked, Kiss Me Kate, Coyote Ugly) as Caractacus Potts,  Liam Fox  (Emmerdale) as Grandpa Potts and Charlie Brooks (The Ocean at the End of the Lane, EastEnders) as the Child Catcher.

Directed by  Thom Southerland  (Titanic, Parade), choreographed by  Karen Bruce  (BBC’s  Strictly Come Dancing, The Bodyguard) and designed by  Morgan Large  (Newsies, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat), this ravishing award-winning musical is bursting with unforgettable songs by the Sherman Brothers including  Toot Sweets,  Hushabye Mountain,  Truly Scrumptious and of course the Academy Award-nominated title song,  Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.  

Based on Ian Fleming’s timeless story for children and later made into the famous 1968 film, in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang we meet absent-minded 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 and Grandpa Potts, they end up on a fantastical adventure to far off lands. Their heart-warming journey makes Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a fun-filled hit for all the family.
