## Bluey’S Big Play Chicago Performance Schedule

The Chicago engagement runs across three consecutive days at the Cadillac Palace Theatre, 151 W. Randolph St., Chicago, IL, a 2,344-seat venue in the Loop. The five performances, with minimum ticket prices drawn from current Chicago listings, are:

- Friday, December 18 at 6:00 PM — from $42
- Saturday, December 19 at 11:00 AM — from $44
- Saturday, December 19 at 2:00 PM — from $36, the lowest minimum price of the five performances and flagged as Best Value
- Saturday, December 19 at 5:00 PM — from $48
- Sunday, December 20 at 11:00 AM — from $44

All five performances carry a High Demand flag from Chicago Events Guide, with average ticket prices ranging from about $135 to about $148 across the run.

## Which Showtime Fits Your Family Best?

With the schedule and prices in hand, the next step is matching a performance to your family’s routine. The breakdown below draws on showtime, typical schedules for children ages 2–6, and pricing data from Chicago Events Guide.

**Saturday, December 19 at 11:00 AM — Best for Most Families with Young Kids.** A mid-morning start keeps children rested, fed, and at peak energy. The show ends before noon, so families still have the afternoon free. Tickets start at $44, and availability is the tightest of the five performances at approximately 1,304 seats, so early booking helps secure preferred sections.

**Sunday, December 20 at 11:00 AM — Best for a Weekend-Morning Experience.** This slot mirrors the Saturday 11 AM performance in terms of logistics. A Sunday morning show wraps before lunch and avoids conflict with afternoon nap schedules. Tickets start at $44, and this performance closes the Chicago run.

**Saturday, December 19 at 2:00 PM — Good for Late-Morning Nappers.** The 2:00 PM start suits children who nap in the late morning and feel ready by early afternoon. Tickets start at $36, the lowest minimum price of any Chicago performance and flagged as Best Value. The show ends around 2:50 PM, leaving a comfortable buffer before dinner.

**Saturday, December 19 at 5:00 PM — Best for Older Siblings or School-Age Kids.** A 5:00 PM curtain pushes the end to approximately 5:50 PM, which overlaps with dinner and wind-down time for many children under 4. Families with older kids or mixed ages who handle later evenings may find this slot convenient. Tickets start at $48.

**Friday, December 18 at 6:00 PM — Best for Adults and Older Children, Least Suited to Toddlers.** A 6:00 PM Friday start ends close to 7:00 PM, past the typical bedtime for children ages 2–4. That later timing also comes with the widest availability at approximately 3,039 seats and tickets from $42, so it works well for last-minute buyers and families with older children, while families with toddlers should focus on the morning or early-afternoon shows.

## Runtime, Toddler Tips & Post-Show Fun

Each performance of Bluey’S Big Play runs approximately 50 minutes with no intermission. The University of Arizona Arts listing recommends the show for ages 2 and up, which aligns with the official site’s guidance that it suits the whole family.

The 50-minute, no-intermission format helps young audiences stay engaged. There is no mid-show pause that might unsettle a toddler, and the length is short enough to hold attention without complex snack or bathroom planning.

After the performance, some audience members are invited to participate in Keepy Uppy. Air-filled balls (made without BPA, latex, or PVC) and non-stain bubbles are released into the audience. The official Bluey site notes that the activity can become boisterous and unpredictable and that some venue sections are excluded for safety. Families who prefer a quieter exit can leave after curtain call.
