I was just reading my paper, and when I opened it up to the entertainment section to see what movies were playing, there was a two-page article on CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG! Cute article, thought I'd post it if anyone was interested!
Yea. There's one of Raul and the kids in the car and one of the ensemble during the "Toot Sweets" number. Plus, there's a sidebar about the cast from the film and where they are today.
According to imdb.com, Phil Collins played the "Kid with Bandage on his face". I can honestly say I don't remember him, but I guess I'll just have to watch the film again.
If you think the audiences love Spamalot and DRS, wait until you see how they react at Chitty. I have seen all 3 shows and must say that all ages seem to enjoy Chitty and you dont have to be "an in-the-know fan" to fully appreciate the show. I liked much of Spamalot but must admit that I felt a bit out of the loop when people started laughing before the jokes took place--a bit too false for me. My opinion is that Chitty was more natural and much more entertaining for the entire audience.
I agree about Chitty - more appeal for a wider audience. Those who are not Python fans (I am a python fan, wife isn't) won't like it as much, but Chitty seems to be able to be enjoyed by all, including chillllldreeennnn.... :)
