Mercury Summer Stock together with Heights Youth Theatre are holding auditions for the Ohio premiere of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
4:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang- an Ohio premiere
directed by Pierre-Jacques Brault
music directed by Joanna Li

An eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, sets about restoring an old race car from a scrap heap with the help of his children Jeremy and Jemima. They soon discover the car has magical properties including the ability to float and take flight. Trouble occurs when the evil Baron Bomburst desires the magic car for himself. The family joins forces with Truly Scrumptious and batty Grandpa Potts to outwit the dastardly Baron and Baroness and their villainous henchman, the Child Catcher. Filled with amazing stage spectacle and unforgettable songs, including the Academy Award nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is ultimately a feel-good story about the power of family and the bonds created to overcome any obstacle.
