Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the most fantasmagorical Broadway musical in the history of everything, is searching for six children in the Philadelphia area to make their stage debut with Chitty at the Academy of Music when she arrives on April 7 for an eight performance engagement through April 12!

Based on the timeless novel by famed James Bond author and creator, Ian Fleming, the production features music and lyrics by the legendary Sherman brothers, composers of Mary Poppins. The national tour also features an original script and fresh adaptation directed by Ray Roderick. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang boasts a beloved score, including memorable classics such as "Truly Scrumptious," "Toot Sweets," "Hushabye Mountain" and the Oscar®-nominated title song, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
