Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - The Musical Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

Whether as a book or the film (which was adapted from the book by Roald Dahl, produced by Broccoli with songs by the Sherman brothers) Chitty has been providing entertainment since the 1960s. Now, with the skilful hand of Sams who ...  Read the complete review

Yes the dialogue is poor at times, yes the 2 spies have much more comedy potential etc etc etc. But the effects, sets and the car itself are absolutely outstanding. I think it may have improved ...  Read the complete review

…but I ain’t never seen a car fly! (Sorry, couldn’t resist that one I’m afraid!) The London Palladium has played host to many stars of stage and screen over the years since it opened in 1910. Stars such as Harry Houdini, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Julie Andrews. Recently it has ...  Read the complete review
