What to Expect

Running for approximately 50 minutes without an interval, Bluey’s Big Play is designed to keep young imaginations engaged from curtain rise to fall. After the show, the fun doesn’t stop! Audience members will have the chance to join in on “Keepy Uppy,” where inflatable balls and bubbles will create a playful atmosphere. While some may prefer to watch the excitement unfold from their seats, others can dive right in—just be aware that safety is a priority, with designated areas for participation.

Exclusive VIP Package

For those wanting a little extra magic, consider the VIP Package. This includes a meet-and-greet with a Bluey costume character, plus a Bluey VIP Lanyard and sticker sheet to take home. Just a heads-up: Children must be accompanied by at least one adult and each attendee must hold a VIP Experience ticket.

Ticketing Details
