Pure Joy for all ages.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is the show you never knew you needed! Especially with all the worries we have in the World at the moment. If you want to be transported away to Lullaby Bay and fly throw the night sky with twinkling stars (including the star performers in the show). Then grab a ticket before it closes. You will laugh (oh yes you will) and maybe even have a tear in your eye during a couple of the ballads. I have seen so many West End shows in London over the past few years and this production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang outshines them all. Fabulous fun and a not to be missed show! ... Read more
