Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is flying back to Birmingham Hippodrome in 2016

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is flying back to Birmingham next year.

A new production of the musical about everyone's favourite flying car will play Birmingham Hippodrome in September 2016.

The show will feature new sets and stunning special effects, plus new choreography from Stephen Mear who won an Olivier Award for Mary Poppins.

Chitty was last at the Hippodrome in 2006 when it starred Brian Conley and Gary Wilmot.

In other musicals news, demand has been so high for The Bodyguard that it is staying an extra week. The show, based on the Whitney Houston film and starring Alexandra Burke, opens on August 5 and will not run until September 5.

Finally, Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty will return to the Hippodrome in July 2016.
