It’s Fantasmagorical! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lands in Oxford!
Don’t miss your chance to be whisked away on a magical, musical adventure as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang flies onto the Oxford Playhouse stage.
Based on a story by Ian Fleming, and made into an iconic film, this much-loved musical is packed full of memorable melodies, including Toot Sweets, Truly Scrumptious and the title song itself.
In this joyous production we follow Caractacus Potts and his children as they restore the wreck of an old racing car and discover its magical powers.
Accompanied by the feisty motorcyclist Truly Scrumptious, they end up in a land of fantasy, where the scary Child Catcher is under orders from the hilarious Baron and Baroness Bomburst to round up all the children. Will they get out? Will Chitty live up to its reputation as a fantasmagorical machine? Come and find out for yourselves!
Brought to you by the award-winning Musical Youth Company of Oxford, this production is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and ensure you leave the theatre with a song on your lips as these young people bring their energy, talent and joy to a visually stunning production.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International.
