Calling all Heelers! Get the family calendar ready. One of the most exciting events for little ones is officially heading to the nation’s capital. The globally adored and Emmy® award-winning children’s series, Bluey, is leaving the screen. It is hopping onto the stage at the Canberra Theatre Centre. This is Bluey’s Big Play, and it’s an absolute must-do activity for Canberra families in January 2026.
This is not just another episode. It’s a full theatrical adaptation! The show features Bluey, Bingo, Mum (Chilli), and Dad (Bandit) live. It uses brilliantly created puppets. These puppets bring the cartoon characters to real life.
What’s the premise? A classic family scenario. Dad Bandit is trying to relax on the bean bag, but Bluey and Bingo have other, much more fun plans. You can expect all the games, cleverness, and family heart we love from the TV show. The show is packed with laughs and genuine moments. It is suitable for audiences of all ages, so everyone from toddlers to grandparents will have a great time.
The run time is perfect for short attention spans, clocking in at around 50 minutes with no intermission. This means less wiggling and more watching! Even after the curtain call, the fun keeps going. Some audience members are invited to participate in a special game of “Keepy Uppy” with air-filled balls and bubbles. Just like the show, it is wonderfully unpredictable!
If you want to make the day extra special, look into the Premium Meet & Greet tickets. This fantastic option includes a photo opportunity with the Bluey costumed character after the show. Imagine the smile on your child’s face! Tickets also offer a “Family of 4” price to make it easier for the whole crew to attend.
This is a beautiful way to spend a summer’s day. It’s an unforgettable activity that captures the spirit of family fun. Be sure to book your tickets quickly.
This amazing show is only in town for a couple of days: Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 January 2026. It’s time to find your favourite Bluey shirt and get ready for a big, theatrical play day!
