Welcome to Bass Performance Hall. On behalf of the Performing Arts Fort Worth staff and Board of Directors, I thank you for joining us.
This weekend, we are so excited to welcome Australia’s favorite TV family to the Bass Hall stage –for real life! Based on the Emmy ® Award-winning animated series, Bluey’s Big Play is the brand-new theatrical adaptation with Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli as you’ve never seen them before! With an original story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm, new music by the show’s composer Joff Bush and featuring brilliantly created puppets, this show is for fans of all ages.
Bluey’s Big Play comes to Bass Hall as part of the Popular Entertainment Series. This incredible lineup continues across the street at McDavid Studio when Dixie Longate returns with Dixie’s Tupperware Party for five performances in April, followed by the UNT One O’Clock Lab Band Spring Showcase and An Evening with Suzy Bogguss this May. Then at Bass Hall, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band brings their farewell tour for one night only, July 27.
This Mother’s Day, our 2023-2024 Broadway at the Bass Season presented by PNC Bank continues with Chicago, followed by the return of Hamilton in June, and closes with the 25th anniversary tour of Mamma Mia! in July. Tickets to Chicago and Hamilton are on sale now and tickets to Mamma Mia! go on sale next week.
In case you missed it, we announced our biggest Broadway season yet! The 2024-2025 Broadway Season presented by PNC Bank features fresh revivals, original tales and spectacular showstoppers! The deadline for current Broadway season ticket holders to renew their season tickets is Monday, April 1. New season tickets go on sale the week of April 29. Join the waitlist at www.basshall.com/waitlist to get priority access.
Visit www.basshall.com to learn more about all of the exciting shows coming up and to secure your seats for your next visit to the Hall.
As always, thank you to all of our sponsors and donors for their generous contributions and continued support. Now, join me in saying “g’day” to Bluey’s Big Play !
Dione Kennedy President & CEO
When Dad feels like a little bit of Sunday afternoon time out, Bluey and Bingo have other plans! Join them as they pull out all of the games and cleverness at their disposal to get Dad off that bean bag.
Bluey’s Big Play is a brand-new theatrical adaptation of the Emmy® Award-winning children’s television series, with an original story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm, and new music by Bluey composer, Joff Bush.
Please note that, after the performance, audience members will be invited to participate in games of “keepy uppy” – one where several air filled balls (made of materials which do not include BPA, Latex or PVC) are released into the audience, and another with bubbles (made of non-stain solution).
As with many children’s games, playing “keepy uppy” may at times become boisterous and unpredictable. If you do not wish to participate in these games, we recommend you leave the theatre after curtain call.
