Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
February 11, 2009 — February 15, 2009 at The Chicago Theatre
You'll believe a car can fly!
CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG is everything you could want in a musical — and more. Sensational sets, stunning special effects, an irresistible story, and an unforgettable Sherman Brothers score, including the Oscar®-nominated title song, all add up to a Broadway blockbuster the whole family will love!
The enthralling adventure of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, the magical car that sails the seas and flies through the air, has been a family favorite since the original motion picture captivated the world's imagination in 1968. Chitty's eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, and his children, Jemima and Jeremy, join the truly scrumptious Truly Scrumptious and kooky Grandpa Potts in outwitting the dastardly Baron and Baroness of Vulgaria in their attempt to steal the flying car for themselves.
