BLUEY brought to live in hit theatre show for UK & Ireland tour

For the first time, hit theatre tour Bluey’s Big Play will visit the UK following sell-out shows across Australia and the US.

Bluey’s Big Play, a brand-new theatrical adaptation of the BAFTA & Emmy® award-winning children’s television series produced by Ludo Studio which airs on Disney+ and CBeebies, will hit the road in December this year and tour the UK and Ireland until summer 2024.

With an original story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm, and new music by Bluey composer Joff Bush, Bluey’s Big Play will go on sale on 30 June at 10am. The tour will visit High Wycombe, Glasgow, Southend, Birmingham, Nottingham, Belfast, Ipswich, Bradford, Newcastle, Cardiff, Sheffield, Canterbury, Truro, Llandudno, Hull, Peterborough, Plymouth, Northampton, Edinburgh, Leeds, Brighton, Liverpool, Aberdeen, Norwich, Wolverhampton, Salford, Dublin, and Southampton, plus a Christmas run at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London over Christmas.

Audiences of all ages will get to see Bluey, her younger sister Bingo and Mum & Dad Bandit and Chilli, as they’ve never seen them before, as Bluey & her family embark on their first live theatre show, made just for you, featuring brilliantly created puppets, live actors, and iconic sets.

The stage show has enjoyed much success in Australia, where it premiered in Bluey’s hometown Brisbane and went on to perform 447 times across 65 venues, including the Sydney Opera House. The tour is currently in the US where it’s played at the Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York, the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and the iconic Chicago Theatre. A Canadian tour was also announced earlier this year. Bluey’s Big Show has been seen by nearly 1 million fans worldwide.
