Calling all Bluey fans! Did you know you can see Bluey live on stage and also enjoy a character meet? We have all the details.
Bluey
For those who have not been formally introduced, Bluey is a smash hit children’s TV series streaming on Disney+. This amazing cartoon comes to viewers all the way from Australia. The show follows the day-to-day lives of two blue heeler pups, sisters Bingo and the title character Bluey, and their interactions with parents Bandit and Chilli. The family lives in Brisbane, Australia, and they spend their days finding bits of magic in the mundane.
Each episode of Bluey is only 6-7 minutes long, but it packs an endless amount of quality messaging into such a small space. Adults and children alike giggle, laugh, and sometimes even cry as the sweet yet occasionally deeply emotional stories unfold. This is a show that the whole family can enjoy! But, I know adults who love it as much if not more than their children.
Season 3 of the beloved series recently came to Disney+. At least, part of it did. Only the first half of the season is currently available for streaming, and one episode was cut altogether (though rumor has it a reassessment is happening.) You can read all about this missing content here.
For the time being, US fans have something else to look forward to. A Bluey stage show is touring the USA, and tickets are now on sale for many of the locations! Also, fans have a chance to enjoy a Bluey character meet!
Bluey’s Big Play
Very soon, Bluey’s Big Play makes its debut in the USA. The show’s tour kicks off in New York in mid–November!
Bluey’s Big Play is a brand-new theatrical adaptation of the Bluey series. It features a story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and also new music by Bluey composer, Joff Bush. This is the first stage show for Bluey, and its performance centers around beautiful puppets. If you like, you can take a sneak peek at the puppets in the video above.
The VIP Experience
Not only can you see the fun stage show, but many locations are also offering a VIP experience. This experience includes a much-anticipated character meet! In addition to a photo op with a Bluey character, VIPs also receive an exclusive Bluey VIP lanyard and Bluey VIP gift.
The VIP package comes at an upcharge where it is available.

Final Thoughts
So, it looks as if there is a chance to meet Bluey coming to Orlando, just not to Disney. I am sure fans would love it if Disney somehow ended up with the correct licensing to host a Bluey meet in the Disney Parks. However, that day is not here just yet. I am not giving up hope that it will happen someday.
Are you going to take the kids to see Bluey’s Big Play when it comes to a theatre near you, or will you be going without the kids? Let us know whether you are excited in the comments, or you can also join our friendly crew to continue the conversation on Facebook.
