31 March - 4 April 2026
Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham
We are thrilled to announce our 2026 Everyman Theatre production will be ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’
A Truly Scrumptious Easter Holiday Treat!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a musical based on the 1968 film of the same name, which was inspired by Ian Fleming’s children’s book. With music and lyrics by the legendary Sherman Brothers and a script by Jeremy Sams, the stage adaptation premiered in London’s West End in 2002. The story follows eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, his two children, and Truly Scrumptious as they embark on magical adventures in a flying car. Known for its whimsical charm, memorable songs like “Toot Sweets” and “Hushabye Mountain,” and imaginative staging, the musical celebrates creativity, family, and the power of dreams.
