Glorious!

Just a fantastic production. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the excellent cast and of course the amazing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang himself. The spectacle of flying Chitty was awesome and Grandpa’s lying toilet was hilarious 😂 ! We left with all of us on a natural high after a great show having sung a long and palms stinging from clapping so hard ! ... Read more

It was my partners birthday and what a way to celebrate. Great production! Would thoroughly recommend the show and the theatre royal in newcastle. Staff friendly and attentive, theatre immaculate and stunning. Great location used NCP on dean street free after 7pm. Went for dinner at simla for dinner another guest advised its the best retaraunt in the north east. He was probably right and great staff. Its near the dean street car park. The show was fun for any age group. Thank you to all for a wonderful day x ... Read more

AMAZING

We went to the Theatre Royal in Newcastle last night (04.06.2024) to see the production and Adam Garcia, Ellie Nunn, LIam Fox, Charlie brookes and the children were amazing. We had a wonderful joyus time. The whole cast were fantastic and Chitty was out of this world, she actually flew. All the actors made the performance incredibly. We enjoyed it that much we are going to see it again tomorrow. Worth every penny. I might even book again for my birthday next year. Good luck for the rest of the tour. ... Read more
