Aussie Star Adam Garcia to Shine in ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ Tour

Ready for a bit of splendid news? Australia’s very own Adam Garcia is gearing up to dazzle audiences across the UK as he takes the lead in the much-anticipated revival of the classic, ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.’ Yep, you heard it right! Garcia will be stepping into the whimsical shoes of Caractacus Potts, and we can’t wait to see him bring his magic to the stage.

The show’s set to kick off at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton come 30 April 2024, before it hits the road on a grand UK tour. And guess what? Garcia’s not flying solo! He’ll be joined by a stellar cast including ‘Emmerdale’s’ Liam Fox as Grandpa Potts, and Ellie Nunn, who’ll be playing the role of Truly Scrumptious. Talk about a lineup!

But wait, there’s more! The production is also bringing on board a whole host of talented folks to complete the ensemble. From Charlie Bishop to Callum Train, and not forgetting the swings who keep the show on its toes, this team is all set to bring the magic of this timeless tale to life.

For those lucky enough to catch the show in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Inverness, Elaine C Smith will be stepping into the eerie shoes of the Childcatcher. And let’s not forget the young stars sharing the roles of Jemima and Jeremy Potts – it’s a family affair that promises loads of fun and adventure.

‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ isn’t just any story – it’s a heartwarming tale of the eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts and his magical racing car, complete with unforgettable tunes by the Sherman Brothers. Under the direction of Thom Southerland and with choreography by Karen Bruce, this revival is shaping up to be something truly special.

So, mark your calendars and get ready for a fantastical journey. With stops from Woking to Bournemouth and all that’s in between, this is one tour you won’t want to miss. Let’s get ready to sing along to ‘Toot Sweets’ and ‘Hushabye Mountain’ – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is coming to town, and it’s bringing Adam Garcia and friends along for the ride!
