Five years into the Bluey phenomenon and it could be easy to be cynical. After books, albums, and a merchandising juggernaut that can weary even the most dedicated parental Bluey fan, there is also, in case you missed it, a Bluey stage show.
Bluey’s Big Play was first performed in December 2020 at QPAC after a lengthy COVID-induced delay, one of the first theatre shows performed to a live audience in Australia post-lockdown. The show has since toured Australia and the US. In the intervening years, a new generation of Bluey fans have made their appearance on the planet, so it’s little surprise that the show is now returning to QPAC for its third season.
