Bluey's Big Play

Bluey's Big Play at Fox Theatre - Detroit

There is something wonderfully familiar about a parent asking for five quiet minutes and children hearing “time to play.” Bluey's Big Play builds its story around a familiar family tug of war: Bandit hoping for peace and quiet, Bluey and Bingo ready to turn the living room into a launchpad for imagination. This new story by creator Joe Brumm brings the whole Heeler family into a puppet theatre world shaped by play, persistence and the way kids pull adults into their orbit.

The original music by Joff Bush gives each scene its rhythm, and the familiar recorded voices of Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack remind you why these characters resonate. The crafted puppets give the characters a physical presence, turning gesture and movement into storytelling. This production respects the child's point of view without losing sight of the parent watching beside them.

The creator's involvement gives fans another connection to anticipate. Joe Brumm's story and Joff Bush's original music bring familiar creative voices into a different form of performance. You can choose the show for the characters your child loves, while looking forward to the craft of puppetry yourself. It offers a shared outing with more than one way to enjoy it.

Choose the Sunday matinee for a family outing full of puppetry, music and the Heelers’ familiar humor.
