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, the family end up on a hilarious fantastical adventure to far off lands.

The new production is directed by Thom Southerland (Titanic, Parade) with choreography by Karen Bruce (BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, The Bodyguard), 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.

Casting for the tour is to be announced.
