Talented youngsters perform in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bristol show

A group of young people from across the city have been chosen to perform in hit musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when it arrives in Bristol.

About 80 students drawn from Stagecoach performing arts schools were invited to audition for the touring production, which flies into the Bristol Hippodrome on January 13 next year until January 30.

The children had to learn the song Teamwork from the show and perform it both solo and in groups, in front of an audition panel from the production company.

A total of 38 were successful after five hours of auditions at the Bristol Community Dance Centre, Hotwells. The students came from Stagecoach schools in Yate, Bristol Central, Bristol North, Long Ashton, Portishead, Clevedon, Hanham and Keynsham.
