Some of this credit, however, must go to Dom Pickett for the upkeep of all the incredible puppets. There is no maximum age on this show, and it really was delightful to see all kinds of people in the auditorium, especially as everyone's eyes lit up equally bright when the animatronics were brought to life. One notable difference here, is that these are not actors inside large costumes assisted by people and props to seem realistic and relatable - they are independent and fully functioning figures. This is what allows the characters their distinct personality and is totally unique to most other franchise stage shows! 

As with every episode of Bluey, the music and moral message are the two most important elements so, while Joe Brumm and Joff Bush manage to avoid replicating any of the stories we’ve already seen on TV, they do translate the brilliant feeling they create onto the stage. This said, there are also some nods to our firm favourites like ‘Grannies’ and ‘Chattermax’ which are done so well and really connect the digital and live media together - demonstrating how our treasured characters can be as cool, caring, and brave in person as they are on our screens.
