Inventor Caractacus Potts lives with his two children and eccentric father. The children fell in love with an old racing car from the junkyard, which is why their father has no choice but to buy it and fix it up. What's more: He turns it into a miracle car that can even swim and fly and whose strange engine noises immediately earned it the name "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". But the car's magical powers arouse the envy of Baron Bomburst of Vulgaria, who wants it badly. When he doesn't succeed, he has Caractacus' father kidnapped, whom he believes to be the inventor. Of course, Caractacus and the children, together with Truly Scrumptious, daughter of a wealthy candy manufacturer, immediately set off for Vulgaria, Remember the delightful 1968 musical fantasy film based on James Bond creator Ian Fleming's famous children's book? The film was shot at Neuschwanstein Castle, among other places, and the hit-potential film music by the Sherman brothers, who had also set Disney's "Jungle Book" and "Mary Poppins" to music, earned him an Oscar and two Golden Globe nominations. In 2002, the film was adapted into a stage musical for London's West End, where it ran to full houses for three and a half years before conquering New York's Broadway. Look forward to a fairytale-like, fantastic musical experience for the whole family, staged by Josef E. Köpplinger.
