Erfinder Caractacus Potts lebt mit seinen zwei Kindern und seinem exzentrischen Vater zusammen. Die Kinder haben ihr Herz an ein altes Rennauto vom Schrottplatz verloren, weshalb ihrem Vater gar nichts anderes übrig bleibt, als es zu kaufen und wieder auf Vordermann zu bringen. Mehr noch: Er macht daraus ein Wunderauto, das sogar schwimmen und fliegen kann und dessen seltsame Motorgeräusche ihm sogleich den Namen »Tschitti Tschitti Bäng Bäng« einbringen. Doch die magischen Kräfte des Autos erwecken den Neid des Barons Bomburst von Vulgarien, der es unbedingt haben will. Als ihm das nicht gelingt, lässt er Caractacus’ Vater entführen, den er für den Erfinder hält. Natürlich machen sich Caractacus und die Kinder zusammen mit Truly Scrumptious, Tochter eines reichen Süßwarenfabrikanten, sofort auf nach Vulgarien, um mit Tschittis Hilfe den Großvater zu befreien!

Deutsch

The widowed inventor Caractacus Potts lives with his two children and his eccentric father. The children have lost their hearts to an old racing car in a junkyard, and so their father has no choice other than to buy it and restore it. But that's not all: He turns it into a magic car that can actually swim and fly. Because of the strange noises that the engine makes, the car is immediately nicknamed "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". But the car's magical powers arouse the envy of Baron Bomburst of Vulgaria, who desperately wants the car. When he fails in his attempt, he has his men kidnap Caractacus' father, whom he thinks is the inventor. Naturally, Caractacus and the children, together with the beautiful Truly Scrumptious, the daughter of a rich confectionary manufacturer, immediately set off for Vulgaria to free Grandpa Potts – with Chitty's help!

Do you remember the charming musical fantasy film from 1968 based on the famous children's book by James Bond creator Ian Fleming? It was filmed partly at Neuschwanstein Castle, and the hit music from the film by the Sherman brothers, who had also written the music for Disney's "Jungle Book" and "Mary Poppins", received an Oscar and two Golden Globe nominations. In 2002, the film was transformed into a stage musical for London's West End, where it played for three and a half years to packed houses before conquering New York's Broadway. The State Theatre on Gärtnerplatz is the first German-speaking theatre to succeed in obtaining the coveted performance rights. You can look forward to a fantastic, fairy-tale musical experience for the whole family in a production by Josef E. Köpplinger.
