Bluey is an Emmy award-winning children’s television series based in Brisbane, Australia. The show follows the adventures of Bluey, a lovable and inexhaustible six-year-old blue heeler puppy who lives with her dad, Bandit, her mum, Chilli, and her four-year-old little sister, Bingo.
Bluey has grown to become an international sensation. The series and its characters are known and adored by families all over the world, including here in North America, where she and her lovable family continue to grow in popularity. Since its premiere, it has been voted one of the Best TV shows of 2020 by Rolling Stone, the Best Kid’s Show of our Time by Vulture, and a kid’s show every parent can love by The New York Times.
Bluey’s Big Play the Stage Show is the first-ever theatrical adaptation of the television series. The play features an original story written by Bluey Creator Joe Brumm, new music by award-winning Bluey Composer Joff Bush, and brilliantly crafted life-size puppets and sets.
After celebrating its global premiere in Australia, Bluey’s Big Play the Stage Show has since gone on to break box office records for children’s entertainment all over the country. Now, Bluey, Bandit, Chilli, and Bingo are making their way to North America, where they’ll be seen in theatres across the country by millions of fans. The live production has been hailed as “a glorious celebration” of everything fans love about the original television series (The Guardian) - it’s Bluey as fans have never seen her before, brought to real life.
Bluey’s Big Play is friendly for all ages so the whole family can enjoy! Please note that, after the performance, some audience members will be invited to participate in games of “Keepy Uppy” - one where several air-filled balls (made of materials which do not include BPA, Latex or PVC) are released into the audience, and another with bubbles (made of non-stain solution).
As with many children’s games, playing “Keepy Uppy” may at times become boisterous and unpredictable. Our top priority is to keep audience members safe which is why some sections of the venue will not be able to play “Keepy Uppy”. If you do not wish to participate in these games, we recommend you leave the theatre after curtain call.
