Bluey's Big Play

Bluey's Big Play at Fox Theatre - Detroit

A box can be a spaceship when Bluey is in charge. Imagine what happens when the whole family gets a theatre. A hallway can be the moon. Bluey's Big Play brings that kind of imagination to the stage at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on May 1, 2027 at 2:30 PM, where live puppet theatre puts Bluey, Bingo, Chilli and Bandit right in front of you. Dad's hoping for a quiet afternoon on the bean bag, but the Heeler kids have other plans, with games and imagination to pull him into their world.

This is a new story written by creator Joe Brumm, with original music by Joff Bush woven through the action. The recorded voices of Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack give Chilli and Bandit the warmth you recognize from the screen, while crafted puppets give the characters a physical stage presence. The puppetry offers families another way to enjoy the familiar characters, with live theatre giving the story its setting.

The premise offers children and adults different ways to connect. Bluey and Bingo have games and ideas to put into action; Bandit wants the quiet afternoon many parents can appreciate. Watching that tug between rest and play gives the outing a familiar center, with a story written for the stage by the creator of the world you already know.

Take the family to the Saturday matinee and let the Heelers turn imagination into live theatre.
