‘Bluey’ coming to Syracuse for live children’s stage show

Wackadoo! Grab your magic xylophone and alert the grannies: “Bluey” is coming to Syracuse for a live children’s stage show.

“Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show,” based on the Emmy-winning children’s TV series, will take the stage at the Landmark Theatre on Friday, March 17 at 6 p.m., and Saturday, March 18 at 10:30 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Tickets for all four performances will go on sale Monday, Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the Landmark Box Office. Group orders of 10 or more may be placed by calling Famous Artists at 315-424-8210.

“Bluey” is an Australian cartoon about a family of four dogs, including Dad (Bandit), Mum (Chilli), Bluey and Bingo; the imaginative show became popular in the U.S. largely thanks to episodes streaming on Disney+. The live theater show will feature puppetry, live actors and iconic sets with an original new story written by “Bluey” creator Joe Brumm.

“Bluey’s Big Play” previously stopped in Utica and Schenectady earlier this year. In addition to Syracuse, 2023 tour dates include stops at the Rochester Auditorium Theatre (March 10-11) and The Stanley theater in Utica (March 29).

The cast for the touring production has not been announced, but the animated series features the voice of Melanie Zanetti, who shot the movie “Gabriel’s Inferno” in Syracuse, as the titular Blue Heeler’s mom.
