Well....
I got out my program from when I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in London to refresh my memory. Unless they beef up the role he is taking, he will probably have more than enough energy and voice to work on Bat III during the day.
The Childcatcher appears only in the Second Act. He is in Scene 19 in which he has his only solo musical number. I do not see him listed in any other scene, but I am sure he makes a few other brief appearances if I remember correctly.
In the credits he is listed sixth ahead of the Toymaker so it is considered one of the larger roles.
I think this may have a chance to be even more effective on Broadway than at the London Palladium because of the layout of the theatres on Broadway. In London the theatre is quite steep in the seating layout, and when the car flies a portion of the audience is not even looking up at it.
From what I remember the show followed the film quite closely...
Very exciting. :)
Lucky you....
