‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ has a car that is unbelievable

Now that the kids are out of school, you only have 39 more days to be able to say, “I witnessed some amazing phenomenons at the Alhambra Theatre & Dining, during the production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’”.  This is a fascinating show for all ages, and not just for the young at heart.  There is a different language that resonates throughout the Alhambra, through some of the songs of CCBB, such as “Chu-Chi Face’ (sung by the fabulous Lisa Valdini* as Baroness Bomburst /Miss Phillips and Kurt McCall* as Baron Bomburst/Lord Scrumptious).

As you will see from the slide show, the cast is dressed very colorfully due to the creations from costume designers Camala Pitts and Dorinda Quiles.  Kudos to all the actors for their superb singing, dancing and lines.  It is a treat to see how the construction of the Chitty Car is converted from an old wreck, to a drivable automobile, to a magnificent frying machine; through the artistry of Ian Black.  Many of the actors are from Florida and their creativity is displayed in every aspect of his show which didn’t require a top-named actor or actress (* Actors’ Equity Association).  Thanks to all our professional, local talent.

Made exclusively for this show, the menu from Chef DeJuan Roy is as follows and awaits your palate:
First Course (Choice of One) House Salad chopped iceberg, roasted corn, cherry tomato, green onion, cheddar cheese, Thousand Island *GF*; OR Smoke House Appetizer BBQ smoked sausage with house-made potato salad *GF*.

Second Course (Choice of One) Spaghetti & Meatballs with garlic bread; OR Trigger Fish & Chips with creamed peas; OR Roasted Pork Loin pork gravy, baked mac n cheese, stewed okra & tomato *GF* without gravy & mac n cheese; OR Roasted Summer Vegetables farro, kale, BBQ baked beans  *GF* without farro.

Third Course (Choice of One) Berry Trifle; OR Buttermilk Pie with strawberry rhubarb compote.

Children’s Menu: Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza with French fries; OR Chicken Fingers with French fries (Fresh green peas available upon request).  *Menus subject to change.  Gluten-free & sugar-free desserts available upon request.
