For parents of a certain generation, the name Bluey likely brings to mind their own captivated children, rather than a beloved cartoon dog.

While the charm of the original series, created by Joe Brumm, undeniably translates to the stage with its vibrant, handcrafted puppets by Jonathan Oxlade, the narrative left me wanting more. The puppeteers deserve a standing ovation for their masterful manipulation of the characters, bringing Bluey's world to life with delightful choreography and detail. The accompanying music added a touch of whimsical magic, a hallmark of the television show.

While the sentimental message eventually shines through, it's questionable whether it resonated with the younger audience members. Adults engrossed in capturing the experience on their own phones during the performance offered little reassurance. By the time the show reached its climax – a giant inflatable ball game called Keepie Uppy – the initial narrative thread felt almost forgotten.
