Song medley from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang performed by the original London cast: Michael Ball, Emma Williams, Anton Rodgers, Nichola McAuliffe and ensemble no copyright infringement intended
This was the first theatrical show I saw technically (I’m from the U.S. so I saw it on broadway aged 6), but I was too young to handle spectacle and me and my 3 year old sister became so freaked out that my parents had to take us out into the lobby for the rest of the show.
Oh wow the memories. I saw this show with my grandparents. My granddad died a year later. Planning to see the new tour and reconnect with both grandparents now my nans passed xxx
I went to see this at the Palladium - purely to meet Richard O'Brien who played the child-catcher (originally). I also met Michael Ball,Anton Rodgers & Nichola Mcauliffe. Brian Blessed left through a different door.
As someone who never had the opportunity to see the stage show - but truly adores the original film - thank you sincerely for posting this. It's good to put faces to the voices from the cast album.
I'm really lucky to be able to do this show for my senior show this year. We've got a car, dog puppets, and birds (Because my director is crazy). I'm so happy to be doing this, because it's one of my all-time favorite shows and movies.
I saw the touring production. Martin Kemp was the child catcher. Choreography was very good. And Brian conley played grandpa. But you could see how the car flew.
I don't remember if there is any tv performance wth Richard but you can definitely see him in the "Making of..." dvd that was released. :) (and there are some bootleg clips around as well)
Richard looked & was amazing as the Childcatcher. He had problems getting into his net rigging near the end of the show & we had a laugh about it after the show had ended. I've still got the programme with some great pics of him in it.
This specific performance confuses me when it comes to the kids Cause you’d think they’d designate two children to do all the press AND the cast recording as they would’ve been known to be Jeremy and Jemima even tho there are three teams of kids
If it's really the _original_ Original London Cast, as appear on the OLC album, Jeremy was played by George Gillies and Jemima by Carrie Hope Fletcher, who went on to play Truly on the UK tour last year.
He is incredible! Perfection!!! The voice is like honey, the control perfect.
Wow this brings back memories, this west end show was the first show I ever saw live!

Emma and Michael are amazing and love lay people.
Okay, I was NOT expecting the car itself to appear at the end. Awesome! :D
So many memories. Thank you.

I saw the touring production. Martin Kemp was the child catcher. Choreography was very good. And Brian conley played grandpa. But you could see how the car flew.

Happy days. Just love this. Thanks :)

Dear Michael
Dear Michael.........
This is perfect except, no Kiddy Widdy Winnkes
C'mon i wanted to see what Richard O'Brien whould look like as the child catcher
I don't remember if there is any tv performance wth Richard but you can definitely see him in the "Making of..." dvd that was released. :) (and there are some bootleg clips around as well)
Richard looked & was amazing as the Childcatcher. He had problems getting into his net rigging near the end of the show & we had a laugh about it after the show had ended. I've still got the programme with some great pics of him in it.
1:56 I spot Simon Farnaby in the audience!
When the queen came to the stage, I got totally confused and though that she got the wrong musical
I enjoyed the film with Dick Van Dyke .. Micheal Ball in the role made famous by Dick Van Dyke.
This specific performance confuses me when it comes to the kids
Cause you’d think they’d designate two children to do all the press AND the cast recording as they would’ve been known to be Jeremy and Jemima even tho there are three teams of kids
What's with the woman in the red dress? I don't remember that from the film at all.
margondine this was one of the additional songs written by the Sherman brothers - although the Baroness character was in the film.
"You're my little Coochie face"....was another song she sang. ❤
Who are the actors playing the children what are there names I recognise the girl
+olivia stone I'm not 100% certain, but I think it's Harry Smith as Jeremy and Lauren Morgan as Jemima
+Sweeney541 I think it is Eliza Bennett who also was in Nanny Mcphee :)
If it's really the _original_ Original London Cast, as appear on the OLC album, Jeremy was played by George Gillies and Jemima by Carrie Hope Fletcher, who went on to play Truly on the UK tour last year.
The girl is Eliza Bennett who played Tora in Nanny McPhee
Nillie they had three jemimas and Jeremy’s each
the car was AMAZING but the show was disappointing
