Bluey's Big Play

Bluey's Big Play at Fox Theatre - Detroit

The best family adventures sometimes begin with two kids refusing to let Dad sit down. The kids have other ideas. Bluey's Big Play brings that familiar negotiation to life with crafted puppets and a new story by creator Joe Brumm, staged at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on May 1, 2027 at 11:30 AM. Bluey and Bingo deploy games and imagination to pull Dad back into play, a dynamic with plenty for families to recognize.

The production stars Bluey, Bingo, Chilli and Bandit in live puppet theatre, with the recognizable recorded voices of Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack adding warmth to the physical performance. Original music by Joff Bush underscores a story built on the give-and-take of family life. The crafted puppets translate the animated world into tangible stage presence, and the narrative respects the rhythm of a household where quiet afternoons rarely stay quiet.

The appeal starts with a small, familiar wish: Dad would like some peace, and the children would like him to play. A family can bring its own experiences to that situation without needing a complicated adventure to care about the characters. The stage adaptation lets you enjoy the Heelers together, with puppetry and original music adding different forms of artistry to the story.

Make Saturday morning a playful trip to Fox Theatre with Bluey, Bingo and Bandit.
