REVIEWS↑ top

3-starChitty Chitty Bang Bang Duration
We went to the show 2/4/2009. While we were pleased with the performance, we found it too short, especially the second half. We did love the special effects and the music. Was the duration shortened? I found out that the Broadway version is 2 hours and 45 minutes. (not sure if the 15 minute intermission is included or not).
