Inventor Caractacus Potts lives with his two children and his eccentric father. The children have lost their hearts to an old racing car from the scrapyard, which is why their father has no choice but to buy it and refurbish it. What's more, he turns it into a miracle car that can even swim and fly and whose strange engine noises immediately earn it the name "Tschitti Tschitti Bäng Bäng". However, the car's magical powers arouse the envy of Baron Bomburst of Vulgaria, who wants it at all costs. When he doesn't succeed, he has Caractacus' father kidnapped, whom he believes to be the inventor. Naturally, Caractacus and the children, together with Truly Scrumptious, daughter of a rich confectionery manufacturer, immediately set off for Vulgaria to free their grandfather with Tschitti's help!
Do you remember the delightful musical fantasy film from 1968 based on the famous children's book by James Bond creator Ian Fleming? It was filmed at Neuschwanstein Castle, among other locations, and the hit film music by the Sherman brothers, who had also scored Disney's "Jungle Book" and "Mary Poppins", earned it an Oscar and two Golden Globe nominations. In 2002, the film was then turned into a stage musical for London's West End, where it played to sold-out audiences for three and a half years before conquering Broadway in New York. Look forward to a fabulous and fantastic musical experience for the whole family, staged by Josef E. Köpplinger.
