Our Visit to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
We started our experience with a truly scrumptious meal at the Watermills restaurant – a must-do that’s for sure!
The show is filled with theatrical creativity and charm that makes it such a delight to watch.
The carefully crafted comedy and fantastic music drew you into the story as you lost yourself for a few hours….
There is such a lovely sense of nostalgia throughout.
It’s absolutely wonderful!
The adapted flying car was of course simply amazing!
Christian Edwards shone as Caractacus Potts.
Lydia Louise made her professional debut as Truly Scrumptious, and she was brilliant!
And let’s not forget the audience interaction and hilarious slapstick from Samuel Morgan-Grahame and Mairi Ikegami as the comical Vulgarian royals, along with Sam Pay and Alexander Zane as the quirky spies.
Jeremy and Jemima were incredibly professional, playing their parts to perfection….
It’s so much fun, creative, and breathed new life into the story!
Well done to The Watermill for yet again another truly awarding winning ( We Think!) production!
We think most notably on our Visit to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was that all of the actors were enjoying it as much as the audience!
The Watermill Theatre
The Watermill Theatre is a unique producing powerhouse of residential and artistic facilities which provide a crucible for creativity, innovative storytelling, and artistic excellence.
The Watermill’s mission is to make theatre that is surprising, inventive, and exciting and to enable access for everyone.
A hallmark of its work is the artistry of actor-musicianship, in both new writing and reinvigorated classics.
The theatre nurtures and celebrates talent and creativity in its company, community, and in the wider sector and it holds wellbeing, equity, and sustainability at the heart of its culture.
The Watermill Theatre is a small but mighty 200- seat theatre, set in idyllic gardens and nestled on the banks of the river Lambourn in rural West Berkshire, southeast England.
In 2024, the Watermill was awarded the prestigious title of ‘Theatre of the Year’ jointly with the National Theatre.
This award, recognising excellence in British theatre, was bestowed on the Watermill Theatre for its continued ambition as an independent charity, and the success of their 2023 production of The Lord of the Rings.
This multi award-winning production, the Watermill’s most ambitious to date, has subsequently transferred to Chicago, Auckland, and Australia (tour) before it returns to the UK in October 2025.
Reaching far beyond the 200 seats in its auditorium, the Watermill’s productions regularly transfer to the West End or tour the UK and internationally, including Calamity Jane, Spike, Bleak Expectations, Amelie the Musical, Tell Me on a Sunday, and Crazy for You.
With a core belief in the transformative power of the arts, the Watermill Theatre also runs a comprehensive outreach programme, working with children and young people, those from low- income backgrounds, and isolated or displaced communities.
