Bluey’s Big Play will be visiting Wales Millennium Centre on 13 – 17 March as part of its first ever tour of the UK and Ireland, following sell-out shows across Australia and the USA.
With an original story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm, and new music by Bluey composer, Joff Bush, this brand-new theatrical adaptation of the BAFTA & Emmy® award-winning children’s television series will tour the UK and Ireland until summer 2024.
Audiences of all ages will get to see Bluey, her younger sister Bingo and Mum and Dad (Bandit and Chilli), as they’ve never seen them before, as Bluey and her family embark on their first live theatre show, 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.
Natasha Spence, Head of Attractions at BBC Studios Live Entertainment said: “Following the incredible reaction to the live theatre show in the US and in Australia, we are so excited to bring Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show to fans across the UK and Ireland.”
Director Rosemary Myers of Windmill Theatre Company said: “The response to the show from fans across Australia and the U.S.A has been nothing short of amazing and we can’t wait for UK families to experience all the fun and excitement of having Bluey and her family on stage live in their city.”
Graeme Farrow, Wales Millennium Centre’s Artistic Director said: “Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli are bringing all of their hilarious, relatable and crazy family fun to Wales Millennium Centre. If you’re looking for love, laughter and canine capers, then shout hooray for Bluey’s Big Play!”
Bluey’s Big Play is produced by Andrew Kay and Cuffe & Taylor with Windmill Theatre Co for BBC Studios.
