CHITTY Chitty Bang Bang is the highlight of the Wales Millennium Centre’s summer programme and stars Aled Jones as Caractacus Potts. Ian Watkins, better known as H from Steps, will play the evil child catcher.
It runs from July 3 until August 30 in the Donald Gordon Theatre. Tickets cost £10 to £39.50 and are on sale now from the WMC box office on 08700 40 2000.

This was first announced last August, Margaret - see page 3 of Aled's news items, at the bottom of the page - "Aled to star in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". The confirmation was delayed until the New Year, because they needed to be sure that Aled could do it after the bad Achilles Heel damage of last year.
But now he is into starting rehearsals and finding out more about it too - he went up to see CCBB at Bradford the other week (and the lovely xantha saw him at Leeds / Bradford airport on the way back! )

That's brilliant news!  I'm definitely going to have to try and see that! Maybe my friend's brother will be playing in their orchestra as well - he's playing with the tour version at the moment. x

Chitty Chitty with Aled should be fantastic!!! I can't wait to go!! My boys love the film! Me too!! 
I took my boys to see Joseph over easter and they behaved perfectly so I have no worries about their behaviour for Chitty!! It was a shame it wasn't Aled playing Joseph! 
Roll on August!! Not that I'm wishing the year away - just can't wait to see this show!!  Will be a fantastic afternoon!!! |
