Take a fantastic musical adventure with an out-of-this-world car that flies through the air and sails the seas. Eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts sets about restoring an old race car from a scrap heap with the help of his children, Jeremy and Jemima. They soon discover the car has magical properties, including the ability to float and take flight. Trouble occurs when the evil Baron Bomburst wants the magic car for himself. The family joins forces with Truly Scrumptious and batty Grandpa Potts to outwit the dastardly Baron and Baroness and their villainous henchman, the Child Catcher. Filled with amazing stage spectacles and unforgettable songs, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a high-flying, fun-filled adventure.
Based on the beloved 1968 film version of Ian Fleming's children's book, and featuring an unforgettable score,
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a family-friendly extravaganza that audiences will find Truly Scrumptious.

Audition Requirements - It is very important that we have a list of ALL CONFLICTS at the time of the audition.
We are seeking strong singers/actors who can dance. Prepare and memorize 32 measures of an up-tempo song or 16 measures of a ballad which shows off your voice, range, and personality. Standard Broadway music is best. If you’re interested in a character role, you may prepare a song appropriate for that character. Be sure to bring sheet music (not just lyrics but actual piano music) in the correct key – do not expect the pianist to transpose your music on sight. Have all cuts or repetitions clearly marked. Place your music in a binder or tape the sheets together for the benefit of the accompanist. Pianist is provided. Plan to wear appropriate clothing (dance attire or sweat pants & sneakers or jazz shoes) for the dance portion of the audition, which will be taught on site. We encourage actors of all ethnicities to audition. Auditions will be held at the Arts United Center at 303 East Main Street. Enter from the rear of the building, using the glass doors to the Green Room.
