The Vivienne, the first winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2019, will join the current U.K. tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the fall.

The artist, who played The Wicked Witch of the West in the U.K. tour of The Wizard of Oz, will step into the role of The Childcatcher beginning October 1, succeeding Charlie Brooks and Elaine C. Smith, who currently share the role. (Prior to joining the cast, The Vivienne will reprise the role of the Wicked Witch in the upcoming summer engagement of The Wizard of Oz at the Gillian Lynne Theatre.)

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cast also features Olivier nominee Adam Garcia as Caractacus Potts (through December 2 ), Emmerdale star Liam Fox as Grandpa Potts, Ellie Nunn as Truly Scrumptious, Martin Callaghan as Baron, Jenny Gayner as Baroness, Adam Stafford as Boris, Michael Joseph as Goran, and John Macaulay as The Toymaker.

The ensemble includes Charlie Bishop, Ruaraidh Blackwood, Hadrian Delacey, Belle Kizzy Green, Tia Gyngell, Kirsty Ingram, Bibi Jay, Isabella Mason, Joe Press, Theo UK Rose, Molly Rees Howe, Callum Train, and Luke Woollaston.

This new production is directed by Thom Southerland (Titanic) with choreography by Karen Bruce (BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing), set and costume design by Morgan Large, lighting design by Ben Cracknell, sound design by Gareth Tucker, musical supervision by George Dyer, and casting by Debbie O’Brien.

Based on Ian Fleming’s story that was later made into the famed 1968 film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, music by special arrangement with Sony/ATV Publishing, and a stage adaptation by Jeremy Sams. Based on the MGM motion picture, the licensed script is adapted by Ray Roderick.

The musical follows absent-minded inventor Caractacus Potts, who restores a broken-down racing car with the help of his children. Soon the family discover the car has magical powers, and along with the delectable Truly Scrumptious, they end up on a fantastical adventure to far-off lands.

This production was originally produced by Eon Productions, Dana Broccoli, Frederick Zollo, Nicholas Paleologos, Jeffrey Sine, Miriam Productions, and Michael Rose at The London Palladium.

Directed by Adrian Noble, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang played Broadway's Hilton Theatre March 2005-December 2005. The production was nominated for five Tony Awards.
