Can't get the song out of our heads

Despite all the madness of the last couple of weeks, it seems you can't keep us down after all. No sooner had we started on those indentations in the couch, and we were already off and heading for the last evening performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Now in all fairness, this show has been running for a while and we weren't all that particularly interested in seeing it in the past; and then they announced the final shows and we decided we had to at least see the flying car that everyone talks about.

So we trundled off to see Jason Donovan (in the lead), Alvin Stardust (as the Child Catcher) and of course, the star of the show - the car.

And it was good. Good enough that we bought the soundtrack (with the original cast including Richard O'Brien as the Child Catcher) - the downside is that Bridie keeps bursting out in the 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' song.

Bridie also went off to see Val Kilmer lead in a new production of 'The Postman always rings twice' which also finished last weekend.
