A brand-new production of this much-loved family favourite stars Ore Oduba (Pretty Woman, Strictly Come Dancing winner, The Rocky Horror Show) as Caractacus Potts, Liam Fox (Emmerdale) as Grandpa Potts and Charlie Brooks (The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Eastenders) as the Childcatcher. Directed by Thom Southerland (Titanic, Parade), choreographed by Karen Bruce (BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, The Bodyguard) and designed by Morgan Large (Newsies, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat), this ravishing award-winning musical is bursting with unforgettable songs by the Sherman Brothers including Toot Sweets, Hushabye Mountain, Truly Scrumptious and of course the Academy Award-nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Based on Ian Fleming’s timeless story for children and later made into the famous 1968 film, in CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG we meet absent-minded inventor Caractacus Potts who restores a broken-down old racing car with the help of his children Jemima and Jeremy. Soon the family discover the car has magical powers, and along with the delectable Truly Scrumptious and Grandpa Potts, they end up on a fantastical adventure to far off lands. Their heart-warming journey makes CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG a fun-filled hit for all the family.

The Vivienne
Everyone at Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is deeply saddened by the passing of James Lee Williams, professionally known as The Vivienne. Their incredible and brilliant talent shone through in their portrayal of The Childcatcher. They were an integral part of our company and will be missed immensely.
James as The Vivienne is perhaps best known for being crowned the first ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2019 and subsequently appeared in the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. They were also a finalist in Dancing on Ice, and appeared in Emmerdale and Absolutely Fabulous the movie, during their successful career as a performer and comedian.
James first role in theatre was the Wicked Witch of the West in the UK tour and West End run of The Wizard of Oz. Most recently, they played the role of The Childcatcher in this tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
James found their home in musical theatre and bought their considerable talent, intelligence and wit to their work, immediately becoming a much-loved member of the Chitty cast. Hugely popular with audiences across the UK, and performing to critical acclaim too; there is no doubt they had a promising future as an actor.
A life cut tragically short. Rest in power.
