JEMIMA POTTS
Jeremy and Jemima Potts are energetic children who are always up for an adventure.

CHITTY
Chitty is the famous race car that beats the Vulgarians multiple times in the Grand Prix. Feel free to cast four to eight actors to create this magical car.

They should be singers who are very comfortable onstage.
Gender: Both

CARACTACUS POTTS
Caractacus Potts is Jeremy and Jemima's father. He is an eccentric inventor who cares deeply about his children. Cast an experienced performer with a great voice who is very comfortable onstage.

BORIS
Boris and Goran are the worst spies ever.
