TV

Bluey’s Big Play is on tour. We found tickets for under $30.

Sometimes seeing Bluey, Bingo, Dad and Mom on TV just isn’t enough.

Thankfully, the quartet might be coming to you for a series of shows when they continue their ongoing, nationwide “Bluey’s Big Play Tour” all the way until Aug. 27.

Even better, Bluey and his family come alive thanks to detailed life-sized puppets.

Best of all, though, some tickets are going for as low as $29 before fees on Vivid Seats, which is a nifty price for a play that’s fun for the whole family — and suitable for all ages.

There’s one big question we’re yet to answer, though.

What’s the 50-minute show about?

We thought you’d never ask.

At each and every Bluey’s Big Play, Bingo and Bluey will do everything in their power to get Dad off his bean bag to play with them on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

So kick back and read on. We’ll fill you in on everything you need to know about when you can see Bluey this year.

Where is Bluey going on tour?

Bluey and the gang have been touring all over North America for quite some time now but still have many stops left to hit before the tour comes to a close.

Just a few of the notable upcoming cities this winter include Phoenix (Jan. 14-15), San Francisco (Jan. 21-22), Portland (Feb. 7), Seattle (Feb. 11-12) and Denver (March 4-5).

Over the spring and summer, Bluey and Bingo will make mischief in Boston (April 7-8), Orlando (May 6-7), Atlanta (May 20-21), St. Louis (June 17-18) and Houston (July 29-30).

The tour wraps up on Aug. 27 at New Orleans’ Saenger Theatre.

A complete calendar featuring all tour dates, venues, show start times and links to buy tickets can be found here.

How can I watch Bluey on TV?

We’re happy to solve the mystery for the few Bluey fans who don’t know where to find her on the tube.

The Heeler family’s Emmy-winning Australian program from creator Joe Brumm and composer Joff Bush can be streamed on Disney+.

Viewers who don’t have the streaming service can also catch episodes on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Instant Video and Vudu.

Bluey characters

The Heeler family has four members: Bluey, Bingo, Mom, and Dad.

Here’s a little bit more about each of them.

Bluey is a mature six-year-old Heeler pup who acts like an adult. Her hobby is coming up with fun games and then inventing rules.

Bingo, 4, loves her big sister. She also enjoys playing but isn’t quite as rambunctious as Bluey. You just might find her talking to bugs when she’s off on her own.

Mom, who also goes by Chilli, recently returned to her at Airport Security. Don’t worry, though — she’s not humorless. In fact, Mom often finds the funny in life.

Dad, aka Bandit, works as an archaeologist during the day but still somehow finds time to play with Bluey and Bingo whenever he can.
