Flying into Sunderland Empire from Tuesday, April 22 to Sunday, April 27, the fantasmagorical musical is a brand new production of the much-loved family favourite, starring Ore Oduba (Pretty Woman, Strictly Come Dancing winner, The Rocky Horror Show) as Caractacus Potts, Liam Fox (Emmerdale) as Grandpa Potts and Charlie Brooks (The Ocean at the End of the Lane, EastEnders) as the Childcatcher.

They bring to life classic songs by the Sherman Brothers including Toot Sweets, Hushabye Mountain, Truly Scrumptious and of course the Academy Award-nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Meanwhile, there’s plenty happening at Beamish over Easter and beyond.
