Bluey's Big Play

Bluey's Big Play at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre

Bluey's games have a way of pulling the whole family in. This time the playtime happens onstage. On February 20, 2027, at 11:00 AM, Bluey's Big Play comes to the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, and the Heeler family steps off the screen into a real room, with real people sharing it. This is a puppet-based stage production, not a film. That difference is the whole point.

The story is built around something every worn-out parent and every wide-awake kid will recognize. Bluey and Bingo want Dad up off his beanbag. Dad would very much like to stay right where he is. It's a small, funny tug-of-war, and the show lets it unfold live. Joe Brumm, creator of Bluey, wrote the story for the stage, so this is a fresh adventure made for the theatre rather than a rerun with a bigger screen.

Then there's the sound. Joff Bush composed music specifically for the show, giving the production its own musical identity. Puppets and performers work together to bring the Heeler family to life, which means your child can watch familiar characters move, react and play in front of them. The approximate running time is fifty minutes with no interval, a tidy outing that still feels like an event. Bring the family, claim your seats, and give the kids a morning they'll talk about long after the beanbag is empty. Reserve your seats for Bluey's Big Play in Indianapolis and make that Saturday count.
