I thought it was delightful. I am 47 years old. Lots of puns in the humor. Great singing and acting! I enjoyed myself much more than I thought I would.

Em would say it is silly fun with a hot leading man.
I would say, Jan Maxwell and Marc Kudisch are the best parts of the show. And Marc's out for a lil while.

It's a crappy show, with a great cast that appears to be having great fun. I enjoyed going. The performances are great, and even the lame songs and plot points are enjoyable in a train wreck kind of way.
And Raul Esparza proves that he can be hot even when dressed as a candy cane.
But for me, it was all about Jan Maxwell and her genius performance.

Fantastic! I've seen it many times and am going again next week!
It's just a lot of fun.

Is it annoying to hear little kids voices in a song or not?
I have nothing against kids singing, just a question.

I did not find the 2 main kids annoying, and I hate kids on stage.

What about the car flying, is that the highlight of the show?

If you like that sort of spectacle, but I think the performances are the real highlight.
The car is fun the first time, but they spin it around over and over and over...So it gets old quick.

I found the car really boring, not as boring as the songs but close.
The cast was great though, the idea that they can have so much fun with that material is the only thing that makes the show worth seeing.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

BobbyBubby - When's the last time you had a plaid candycane?
Anyways, the performances are great... Erin Dilly, Raul Esparza, Chip Zien, Robert Sells, Kevin Cahoon and ESPECIALLY Jan Maxwell are wonderful... too bad Marc's out, though. :-/

I saw it in April and thought the two children were amazingly talented with beautiful voices.

it is very entertaining but wait for marc to come back. he and jan are the highlights of the show.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

It's all subjective my dear. To each their own.
After many years of children's theatre, I find kids on stage annoying.
Again, just my opinion.

please never say subjective again. thats all we talk about in social studies. every day we start by taking notes about what subjective means and how it relates to history even though we have the exact same things written down on another piece of paper in our folders. and then we go on to how no one can be completely objective...UGH

Do they talk about how to write proper sentences?

In response to the original question, I would say go for it, especially if you can get student or cheap tickets.
The show made me feel like a "kid" again. It's just so much FUN. Raul is a wonderful talent, and Jan Maxwell is absolutely BRILLIANT. Obviously, it's not life-changing theatre, but for a night of fun, why not go see it?

Hey guys. New here. Love MT (well most of it). Seen a lot and can't wait to contribute.
I saw "Chitty Chitty" in London and on Broadway. Pretty decent show. If you're just looking to have a good time. Erin Dilly is great, as are Marc Kurdish and Raul Esparza.
