The youth troupe of Christian Family Theater will open one of the first community productions of Ian Fleming’s “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr.” for three performances Friday-Sunday, Nov. 16-18.

“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr.” is a student version of the popular stage musical based on Ian Fleming’s children’s book. The musical features a book by Jeremy Sams, music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman and includes the Academy Award-nominated title song featured in the 1968 movie.

Planning for this production began in June says director Dale Dye.

“I believe this is our largest scaled production to date,” he notes. “The show has several automated or motorized set pieces including Chitty. Our set even undergoes our largest transformation ever during the show.”
