Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – Bristol Hippodrome 2025

A brand-new production of this beloved family classic stars Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba (Pretty Woman, The Rocky Horror Show) as the eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, Liam Fox (Emmerdale) as Grandpa Potts, and Charlie Brooks (The Ocean at the End of the Lane, EastEnders) as the sinister Childcatcher.

Directed by Thom Southerland (Parade), choreographed by Karen Bruce (BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing), and designed by Morgan Large (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat), this stunning, award-winning musical features unforgettable Sherman Brothers classics, including Toot Sweets, Hush-a-bye Mountain, Truly Scrumptious, and the iconic Academy Award-nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Based on Ian Fleming’s cherished children’s story and the iconic 1968 film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang follows Caractacus Potts as he restores a broken-down racing car with the help of his children, Jemima and Jeremy. They soon discover the car’s magical powers, leading them—alongside the delightful Truly Scrumptious and Grandpa Potts—on a whimsical adventure to faraway lands. This heart-warming tale is a fun-filled treat for audiences of all ages!
