The touring production of the Broadway musical, based on the 1968 film, is part of Kid's Night on Broadway and plays through Sunday, March 22.

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, a production coming to PPAC March 19 - 22, held auditions on October 25, 2008 to find six local children to appear in the chorus of the show for its Providence run.
