BEAUFORT CHILDREN’S THEATRE TO SOAR IN CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG JR. ON MAY 17 – 19, 2024
“Near, far, in our motorcar, oh what a happy time we’ll spend” when USCB Center for the Arts presents Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. on May 17 and 18 at 7 p.m. and May 19 at 3 p.m. And to those who can’t attend we say, “Oh, poppycock.”
Ian Fleming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. features a book by Jeremy Sams, and music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman (Mary Poppins), which includes the Academy Award-nominated title song featured in the 1968 movie produced by Albert R. Broccoli. The story follows an eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, and his children, Jeremy and Jemima, who discover an old race car that has magical properties.
