Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Rocked!

I think I just enjoyed typing that title and having all those words together. : ) I went to a media event and won tickets to the opening night of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...The most fantasmagorical Broadway musical in the history of everything! (Outrageous tagline, huh? LOVE!)

It was my first time seeing anything, uh – Chitty. I never read the book or watched the movie, but I got a brief synopsis before I went in. I was concerned that I was going to be surrounded by 12 year olds – not sure what I was thinking, because 1) It’s a play – a musical. 2) When I arrived the place was packed full of adults...I might’ve been the youngest one there. (OK, after a handful of twenty-somethings.) 

The production was amazing. I have a new found appreciation of stage/set design and production – ever since the Fashion Week Tampa Bay event (which I have finally recovered from...and am gearing up for next year – yay!) Anyway, the stage crew did such a great job, and  made the Teamwork song seem oh so applicable.

Well, my husband now has the pleasure of hearing me belt out: “Teamwork can  make a dream work!” on random occasions...poor guy, I can’t sing. And unfortunately for him and the neighbors...that’s like my new jam.

I took the time to look up the lyrics, and would like to share them with you as I think it will bring you joy and make you feel like...singing! (Or at least inspire you!)

Looking back, it’s like the 2008 anthem! Me-me-me-me... (that’s me doing a sound check, not focusing on me – the song is called “Teamwork“, pay attention!).

Musical: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Song: Teamwork

CARACTACUS:
One way, I know of one way, Let’s unite and right this wrong.
One way, there’s only one way, we must form a fighting throng.
If the same great dream is beating in each heart,
there's no stopping what a fighting team can start.
For all together, a team can weather, any storm they may go through.
Yes, teamwork, can make a dream work,
can make the greatest dreams come true.

CHILDREN:
Maybe, with some surprises, we could even fight a plight.
Right. Maybe, despite our sizes, we could win the day, tonight. Right!
If our hearts and hands, team up and fight as one,
we won't stop until the victory is won!

CARACTACUS:
When you're united, a torch is lighted, the golden flame of liberty.

ALL:

It's the dreamof freedom that your hearts desire.
Though one tiny little spark, can barely make a mark,
all together many sparks can light a mighty fire!

All:
Teamwork, can make a dream work, if we all pitch in and try.
Teamwork can make a dream work, and no mountain is to high!
If the same great dream, is beating in each heart,
there's no stopping what a fighting team can start.
For, all together, a team can weather, any storm they may got through.
Yes, teamwork, can make a dream work
can make the greatest dreams come true.
Teamwork can make a dream work if you're not afraid to fight.
Teamwork can make a dream work, if you fight for what is right.
Though it seems a dream's impossible to do,
great teams make it's possibilities come true.
So when you start out, let all your heart out.
And we won't stop what we begin!
Yes, teamwork can make a dream work if we have got the will to win.
Yes, teamwork, can make a dream work if we have got the will to win!
