Fantasmagorical musical is Bang on target.
A local amateur theatre company is enjoying a successful run of the family favourite Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at Darlington Hippodrome.
Darlington Operatic Society are receiving rave reviews for their current run of the all-time family classic musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at Darlington Hippodrome.
Following almost a year of planning the show opened last Wednesday and runs until Saturday 3 November. With amazing costumes, a live orchestra, stunning sets and amazing special effects including, of course, the flying Chitty herself, the musical is a must for half-term family enjoyment.
Spokesman Julian Cound told us “ticket sales have exceeded all expectations – we knew demand was going to be high for this show and we have been amazed at the reaction from audiences at every performance. The clapping starts during the overture and there is a great buzz of anticipation when Chitty is about to make her grand entrance. And when she actually flies there is a wave of noise coming from the auditorium – it’s simply theatre magic.”
The stage version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has all of the best-loved songs from the famous movie including Toot Sweets, Me Old Bamboo, POSH and Hushabye Mountain.
The show runs at Darlington Hippodrome until Saturday 3 November with a BSL Interpreted performance on Thursday 1 November. Tickets are available by calling the Ticket Hotline on 01325 244659 or by booking online at darlingtonos.org.uk
