Advantages: Brilliant cast, great production, superb

Disadvantages: Lots of bangs, kids may not like this, child catcher very scary

Yesterday afternoon I had the most enjoyable visit to the theatre to see the most charming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. What a show, one in a million and the car, wow it was very difficult to see how it actually flied on the stage. They pulled this one off magnificently, very impressed with the cars techniques. The car itself had to be the star of the show.

I have some very fond memories as a child sat on my Dad's knee watching this film so I obviously had to have this in my DVD collection, I said i bought this for my kids but it was difinetly for me!! So when the show was coming to our home town I jumped at the chance to see this.

The cast of the production were amazing and the child catcher was very scary dressed in black leather with that famous hook and crooked hat. Lots of bangs and explosions so if you're child has a fear of these things then best not take them into see this show, it can be a bit scary for young kids. The last thing you want is to have to come away from your show due to your kid screaming the place down!

I was in fits of laughter when Potts took his hair cutting machine to the carnival to make some money to buy chitty. Like in the film he goes like hammer and tongs to cut the guys hair and low and behold it comes out very very bald. He chases Potts round the carnival until he bursts into song and dance with the 'old bamboo' brilliant.

Toot sweets and P-O-S-H were just superb, there were even dogs on the stage. To be honest I can't fault this show, every song was excellent and in parts even made me come over all goosebumpy.

First class fantasmagorical show....

Summary: Very enjoyable fantasmagorical show
