It’s nearly time for the hit theatre show Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show to make its African debut at Artscape in Cape Town! The show runs from Thursday, 26 June until Sunday, 06 July 2025 and tickets are on sale at showtime.co.za and ticketmaster.co.za.
Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad, everyone’s favourite Blue Heeler dog family, are supporting an initiative, along with the Cape of Good Hope SPCA (capespca.co.za), to make sure that their South African furry friends will make it through winter with their tails wagging, their fur thick and warm and their noses wet and shiny. Audiences coming to watch the show are encouraged to bring along donations of pet food, blankets and pet toys for the dogs and other pets being cared for by the SPCA, as well as any second-hand books they’d like to clear out of their collections, which will be sold to help raise money to cover the Society’s expenses. Special collection bins will be available in the Artscape foyer during the show’s run, and all donations will help to make the animals under the SPCA’s care more comfortable during the cold and rain of Cape Town’s winter.
Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show is based on an original story written by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and contains music by Bluey composer, Joff Bush. The characters are represented by larger-than-life puppets operated by talented puppeteers who bring Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad to life on stage. This show is a theatrical adaptation of the BAFTA and Emmy® Award-winning animated television series produced by Ludo Studio and is packed with music, laughter and fun for the whole family.
Bluey’s Big Play follows Bluey and her family through a full day from sunrise through to bedtime. When Dad feels like a little bit of Sunday afternoon time out, Bluey and Bingo come up with their own plans and take fans with them as they pull out all of the games and cleverness at their disposal to get Dad off that bean bag! The critically acclaimed stage show has captivated audiences across the globe. Since premiering in Australia, Bluey’s Big Play has toured globally across the UK, Ireland, Canada, the US, Europe, Singapore and the UAE and has been seen by millions of fans worldwide.

After its Cape Town run, it moves to The Teatro at Montecasino, Johannesburg from Wednesday, 09 July to Sunday, 20 July 2025. Tickets are on sale at showtime.co.za and ticketmaster.co.za.
