Hi everyone, just thought I'd let you know that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is closing on London on September 4th, to be replaced by Scrooge starring Shane Ritchie. (I think.....  ) |

Poor Chitty... is it good in London? I actually quite loved it on Broadway.  |

Unfortunately I never got to see it in London, but the recording sounds great. And I saw clips on TV, it looked amazing!

I won't be able to go and see it now! What a short run! Phantom has been in London for way more years than Chitty. What was the letdown? Has Mary Poppins taken over the market?

Chitty was very good on stage, but like most shows since the bombings in london on July 7th there was a big downturn in attendance at all shows (things like phantom and les mis, which used to sell out months in advance have tickets available on the day), and therefore some shows decided to cut their losses and close. In the case of chitty it was also down to wanting to take the show on a UK tour.

I hope you enjoy the show, from reviews i have seen it is not nearly as good as the london production stageing wise, but im sure you will still have a brilliant time!
