A classic is being dusted off for a new generation of theatre-goers at 91原创 Secondary School (LSS).

The LSS Musical Theatre Company is putting on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang this year.

The musical is based on the 1968 film version of Ian Fleming鈥檚 children鈥檚 book, and features music by the Sherman Brothers, who also wrote Mary Poppins. The cast includes 50 students from Grades 4-12, accompanied by a 23-piece orchestra made up of community members and students.

The musical tells the story of an eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, who sets about restoring an old race car from a scrap heap with the help of his father and his children, Jeremy and Jemima.

They soon discover the car has magical properties, including the ability to float and fly. Unfortunately, the evil Baron Bomburst wants the magic car for himself, and it takes all the ingenuity of the family and the lovely Truly Scrumptious to win the day.

鈥淭his is a family-friendly show and we are excited to feature a fantastic car loaned to the school by Theatre in the Country as well as an array of sets and props created by our cast and community members as well as the Trades students at LSS,鈥� said show director Khaila Piorecky.

Tickets are $10 for seniors and students and $12 for adults, and they are available online at .
