For the first time ever, hit theatre show Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show will visit Aotearoa following a global tour across Australia, UK, Ireland, Singapore, Spain, Abu Dhabi and North America.

Bluey’s Big Play, a brand-new theatrical adaptation of the BAFTA & Emmy® award-winning children’s television series produced by Ludo Studio, will hit the road in April 2025 and tour to Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Auckland.

Audiences of all ages will get to see Bluey, her younger sister Bingo and Mum & Dad embark on their first live theatre show, featuring brilliantly created puppets, live actors, and iconic sets. Based on an original new story written by Bluey creator Joe Brumm, the theatrical adaptation contains music by Bluey composer, Joff Bush. Bluey’s Big Play is produced by Andrew Kay and Live Nation with Windmill Theatre Co for BBC Studios.

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 Play is set to make its debut in Paris, France later this year. Bluey’s Big Show has been seen by nearly 1 million fans
worldwide.

Since bursting on to TV screens in Australia in 2018, Bluey has enjoyed critical success at home and abroad, recently winning a 2022 BAFTA Children & Young People Award in the International category and picking up its consecutive fourth AACTA Best Children’s Programme award to add to an International Emmy.

Bluey is the #1 children’s show in Australia, the US, the UK, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Poland and South Africa. #1 on Disney Junior in the UK, and the #1 rated show on CBeebies in the UK. Bluey is the number one most-watched series on streaming among total views in the US, with over 35 billion minutes watched (584M hours), according to Nielson data. Bluey also remains popular on Neon and TVNZ+ which broadcast Bluey in New Zealand.

Thanks for your understanding!

The city bylaws are that no alcohol is to be consumed on the streets within Auckland CBD this is pretty strictly enforced by Auckland Police. The law of the land states that if you arrive at the arena intoxicated we can't let you in. If you show signs of intoxication at Spark Arena, then you will be asked to leave. In the exact words of the law "The licensee or a manager of any licensed premises who allows an intoxicated person to be or remain on the licensed premises commits an offence". This is not something we want to happen, so help us out and ease off the drink.
