Fun Trivia
So, you know the book was written by Ian Fleming, better known as the creator of James Bond. Maybe you remember the 1968 movie (loosely based on the book) written by Roald Dahl and Ken Hughes, with songs from the Sherman brothers, starring Dick van Dyke as Caractacus Potts. Then along came the stage musical, featuring additional songs from Robert and Richard Sherman, which premiered in the West End in 2002. The car for this production held a Guinness World Record as the most expensive stage prop, having cost 750,000 pounds.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Trivia Questions
1. Finish up this line: "That mouthful of cheer;"

From Quiz Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lyrics

Answer: "That sweet without peer;"

All of these lines are sung in the song "Toot Sweets." This song takes place as Caractacus is trying to sell Toot Sweets to Mr. Scrumptious. Truly Scrumptious, Mr. Scrumptious' daughter, tries to help Caractacus.

2. The author of the CCBB book is mostly famous for...?

From Quiz "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Stage Production

Answer: The James Bond books

True, the author is none other than Ian Fleming!

3. Which line comes first in the song "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?"

From Quiz Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lyrics

Answer: "And our pretty chitty bang bang..."

Sung by the children, Mr. Potts and Truly in the beginning of the wonderful musical, most of the lines are either praising Chitty Chitty, or saying the words "Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" over and over! On a side note, Chitty got her name by the noise she makes. In the words of Caractacus, "all engines talk."

4. Originally, Caractacus was meant to enter the stage much more dramatically, but this method was eventually rejected. What was it?

From Quiz "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Stage Production

Answer: By parachute

During the earliest previews, Michael Ball did indeed come sailing down by parachute, but was eventually rejected because of danger risks. A minor explotion is certainly safer! LOL

5. Who sings "Hushabye Mountain"?

From Quiz Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lyrics

Answer: Caractacus

This is a very haunting lullabye. "A gentle from Hushabye Mountain softly blows o'er lullabye bay. It fills the sails of boats that are waiting; waiting to sail your worries away." Caractacus sings this song to his children, Jeremy and Jemima as they go to sleep.

6. What did the cast rehearse with before the fine four-fendered friend arrived at the theatre?

From Quiz "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Stage Production

Answer: Fold-out chairs and a soup bowl

If you've read Nichola McAuliffe's earliest entries in her diary at the official website (http://chittythemusical.com) this should be obvious. :-)

7. This song has both children and their father singing to each other. One of the lines is "What makes the battle worth the fighting?" What song is it?

From Quiz Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lyrics

Answer: "You Two"

Sung by the family, Caractacus begins it with "What makes the battle worth the fighting?" A happy song, it makes it clear that the children are very important to their beloved father.

8. What colours are the feathers in Caractacus' hat in the doll-scene?

From Quiz "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Stage Production

Answer: Green and red

Although one would rather watch the man with the hat instead of the hat itself... ;-)

9. This song starts out with just the children singing. They compare Truly to food. What is the name of the song?

From Quiz Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lyrics

Answer: Truly Scrumptious

This is the song that is also in the duet "Doll On A Music Box," only then it's sung by Caractacus. The children say that several different type of candies "tell you what they are right from the start" and that her name does the same for her.

10. What is it Caractacus exclaims before the dance routine of "Me Ol' Bamboo"?

From Quiz "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Stage Production

From Quiz "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Stage Production

Answer: Red

And quite handsome men they are, too. ;-)

15. What is the response to this question: "What do you see, you people gazing at me?"

From Quiz Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lyrics

Answer: "You see a Doll on a Music Box that's wound by a key."

This is the duet that Truly and Caractacus use to distract the people of Vulgaria. It works, and the toymaker, Caractacus and Truly free the children! A side note about the movie with Dick van Dyke: the castle that is pictured is an actual German castle called "Neuschwanstein."

16. How old was Emma Williams when she was cast in the role of Truly Scrumptious?

From Quiz "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Stage Production
