The character will be brought to life in Bluey’s Big Play stage show, touring the UK and Ireland and running at London’s Southbank Centre at Christmas.

For the first time ever, 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 Friday 30th June at 10am. The tour will visit venues across the UK, including London’s Southbank Centre on 20th December for a Christmas run.

The show is produced by Andrew Kay and Cuffe & Taylor with Windmill Theatre Co for BBC Studios.

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.”

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show to UK and Ireland audiences, premiering at the prestigious Royal Festival Hall in December,” said director Rosemary Myers, of Windmill Theatre Company. “The response to the show from fans across Australia and the US has been nothing short of amazing and we can’t wait for UK families to experience all the fun and excitement of Bluey and her family on stage live in their city.”

Ben Hatton, SVP of Arts and Entertainment for Cuffe and Taylor added: “This phenomenal show brings the beloved characters of Bluey to life on stage and we cannot contain our excitement for audiences to experience the magic and joy it will bring”.

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 one million fans worldwide.
