lhambra Season Partners & Guests,
Fantasmagorical!
It just sounds fun. I remember being in my
parents' house as a boy watching Chitty Chitty
Bang Bang on TV. It had already been in theaters
and was then broadcast on TV every year, kind
of like The Wizard of Oz. I don't know what's
more scary - that the movie Chitty Chitty Bang
Bang and I are the same age, or that child catcher. Chitty Chitty was all
at once mesmerizing, enchanting, terrifying and uplifting.
I want to congratulate Ian Black, one of our scene designers, for his
work on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the actual car. He put his heart and
soul into making it feel as close to the real car as possible. It's hard for a
theater like the Alhambra, with its low roof lines, to produce this show.
That's why it has never before been shown here. Ian took it upon himself
to make it happen, though. He researched, he toiled, he stayed up long
nights. At the end of his process we have a vehicle that I hope will take
you on a terrific journey. We also have quite an amazing cast who have
been given a rare gift - a show with a great script, wonderful music, and
many years of history!
As we enter the second half of our season of spectacular, I want to thank
you for being here. We have more great shows lined up for the remainder
of the season and I hope you'll be able to join us for all of them. Kiss Me
Kate and 1776 are brilliant and big, classic Broadway musicals. Do Black
Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? is a fantastic coming-of-age
musical comedy and, of course, the story that Will Ferrell brilliantly
brought to life in the funny and touching movie, Elf, we know you will
love Elf the Musical.
Thank you again for joining us today. We're thrilled you've chosen to
make your memories here with us at the Alhambra.
Kind regards,
Craig
