Ian Fleming`s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang broadway production moves to Hilton Theatre, New York

The newly rechristened Hilton Theatre in New York will be the home of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," the lavish London hit based on Ian Fleming's children's book and the 1968 movie which starred Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes - reports The Times Herald (USA).

On Broadway, Raul Esparza will be inventor Caractacus Potts and Erin Dilly plays Truly Scrumptious, the ultimate name for a musical-comedy heroine. And, of course, there is that flying car.

Expect it to soar over the Hilton on April 28, with preview performances beginning a month earlier.

Thanks to `Paul` for the alert.
