Bluey's Big Play

Bluey's Big Play at Fox Theatre - Detroit

Dad’s quiet afternoon is in trouble again. This time the Heelers are taking the argument onto a real stage. Bluey's Big Play brings crafted puppets of Bluey, Bingo, Chilli and Bandit to the Fox Theatre in Detroit on May 1, 2027, at 5:30 PM. Dad's hope for a quiet afternoon gives the stage story a familiar family problem to play with.

Creator Joe Brumm wrote a new story for the stage, and it leans into the push and pull between rest and play, stillness and imagination. Bluey and Bingo deploy their usual arsenal of games to coax Bandit off that bean bag, and the plot gives family life a theatrical setting. The voices you know, recorded by Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack, anchor the production while Joff Bush's original music threads through the action.

Puppetry adds its own reason to choose this outing. Characters your family recognizes become physical stage figures, with movement and performance carrying the story. For children curious about theatre, the familiar Heelers offer an inviting starting point. For parents, the push and pull between rest and play gives the adventure a connection to everyday family life.

Spend Saturday evening with the family that knows how to turn a quiet day into an adventure.
