The most fantasmagorical musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will visit Milton Keynes Theatre in May 2016.
Audiences of all ages will be flying high with its mixture of madness, intrigue and exuberance between May 4 and 14th.
Lee Mead (below, Casualty, Legally Blonde, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat) will star as Caractacus Potts, Michelle Collins (top), EastEnders, Coronation Street) as Baroness Bomburst, and Andy Hockley (The Phantom Of The Opera) will play Grandpa Potts.
Can the loveable but whacky inventor, Potts, along with his two children and the gorgeous Truly Scrumptious outwit the bombastic Baron Bomburst who has decreed that all children be banished from his kingdom?
What happens when the children are caught and imprisoned with other youngsters by the evil Childcatcher?
Will it all end happily-ever-after? Well, of course it will!
Having broken all box office records in the West End, the fun-filled production from the team that brought you Fiddler on the Roof and The King and I promises laughs, magic galore and favourite songs including Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Hushabye Mountain and Truly Scrumptious - and Chitty herself!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has music and lyrics by Richard M Sherman and Robert B Sherman, who were also responsible for Mary Poppins, The Slipper and the Rose, The Aristocats and The Jungle Book.
