Featuring brilliantly created puppets, Bluey fans will get the chance to see the lovable character and the rest of her gang up close and personal.
Show director, Rosemary Myers said they were excited about the show.
"We can't wait to see fans across NSW and beyond in 2021," she said.
"Like the rest of Australia, we love Bluey and it's a thrill and a privilege to bring these brilliant characters into the three dimensional world."
Bluey's Big Play is a brand-new theatrical adaptation of the award-winning children's television series, and features an original story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and new music by Bluey composer, Joff Bush.
The stage show will be held at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre (BMEC) and is set to star the Heeler family, Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli, in their first live theatre show.
BMEC Manager, Stephen Champion, said it will be like having Australian royalty in town.
"The show is extremely popular with both children and parents, and we are excited they are finally coming to the BMEC," he said.
"Bluey has become a worldwide phenomenon and the recently released soundtrack 'Bluey the Album' has become the first children's album to reach number one in the ARIA charts.
