Earlier this month, legendary entertainer Dick Van Dyke, who recently turned 90-years-old, made headlines when he surprised diners at a Santa Monica, CA Denny's restaurant with an a cappella performance of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" along with his group, The Vantastix.
This was far from the first time that the a cappella group has stretched their vocal chords for crowds, and BroadwayWorld is looking back at some of their other fabulous performances below!
