Synopsis
A failing inventor rescues a rotting car which turns out to have magic powers. The family set out to liberate a country where children are banned - or is it all a dream?
Our Review:
1 July 2010
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is the ultimate feel-good musical with the fantasmagorical car with anthropomorphic properties. And the car IS the star, even though the rest of the show is a superb concoction of colour, sing-along tunes and vibrant dancing.
There is also much humour, mainly supplied by two Laurel and Hardy-type spies, Goran and Boris (Nigel Garton and Richard Ashton) who are trying to steal Chitty for child-like Baron Bomburst of Vulgaria (Edward Peel) and his hilarious saucy wife, the Baroness (Kim Ismay).
The car, once a race winner, is languishing in a junkyard but is soon revived as a shiny new machine by widowed inventor. His two children, Jeremy and Jemima were played delightfully by Elliott Allinson and Rachel Corrigan last night though there other child-actor couples rotate the roles.
Truly Scrumptious (Katie Ray), the daughter of a sweet-maker, bowls into the junkyard on her faulty motorbike bumping into Caractacus and his children....
