Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad are coming to Cape Town this winter school holidays. For the first time ever, the hit theatre production Bluey’s Big Play makes its African debut at Artscape on Thursday 26 June, running until Sunday 6 July.
In this theatrical adaptation of the Bafta and Emmy-winning animated children’s television series, families can see Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad in their first ever theatre show, featuring brilliantly created puppets and sets, live actors and all-new music.
The play follows Bluey and her family through a full day from sunrise to bedtime. When Dad feels like a little bit of Sunday afternoon time out, Bluey and Bingo have other plans. Join them as they pull out all of the games and cleverness at their disposal to get Dad off that bean bag.
The audio track is prerecorded and features original voices from the TV sensation, including the instantly recognisable voices of Dave McCormack and Melanie Zanetti as Dad and Mum.
The show has performed to a global audience including sell out seasons across Australia, USA and the UK.
“The response has been extraordinary. We are so excited to now bring Bluey’s Big Play to South African audiences,” says producer Andrew Kay.
Since bursting onto TV screens in Australia in 2018, Bluey has enjoyed success at home and abroad, winning a 2022 BAFTA Children & Young People Award, a 2024 Kidscreen Award for Best Animated Series and picking up its consecutive fifth AACTA Best Children’s Programme award to add to an International Emmy and numerous awards for craft and production around the world.
