A free notebook given out before performances of Blue's Birthday Party

Blue's Clues Live was produced and developed by Traci Page Johnson, Angela C. Santomero and Todd Kessler, the creators of the eponymous TV show, and directed by Gip Hoppe. Blue and the other animated characters were portrayed by puppets and large costumes designed and built by Yvette Helin. The sets were designed by David Gallo, an acclaimed scenic designer whose previous works include several Broadway shows, and the music was scored by Nick Balaban and Michael Rubin , the original show composers. Audience members were given their own Handy Dandy Notebooks to keep track of clues as the show progressed [3] . A new character named Curt (later Curtanne), a living stage curtain, would keep kids entertained during intermissions. The roles of Steve and Joe were not played by their respective TV actors, but rather, seasoned stage actors.

International shows [ ]

Blue's Clues show at Dreamworld

A shorter, more downscale Blue's Clues stage show was performed at the theme park Dreamworld in Queensland, Australia from 2001–05. Steve remained the host character throughout its entire run, despite Joe hosting the TV show at the time.

Additionally, a show which seemingly combined elements from both the shows also toured across Australia, and was primarily performed at shopping centers. This production used minimal sets and unique props, such as a giant Handy Dandy Notebook.

Licensed Productions [ ]

Local production of Blue's Clues Live! circa. 2008

After the show stopped touring nationally, the rights to both shows were sold to Theatrical Rights Worldwide, who would lease the show out to theater companies around the world. Mascot costumes of Blue and Magenta, made by Costume Specialists in Ohio, were available to rent exclusively for these productions. All other aspects of the show (set design, wardrobe and props) were handled by the licensees, resulting in production value of varying quality. As of 2021, the rights to Blue's Clues Live! were handled by Dalro , an organization based in South Africa, but both shows were later removed from their website.

Blue is a popular English pop and R&B group that have sold over 16 million records worldwide, formed in 2000 in London, England.

In 1999, having met at an audition for a boy band managed by Simon Cowell, Lee Ryan and Antony Costa kept in touch and a year later invited Duncan James to start a band. It wasn’t long before the trio impressed Daniel Glatman, who later became their manager, and invited Ryan’s flatmate Simon Webbe to complete the line up. The band signed a contract with Innocent Records and Blue’s output was put in reliable hands of numerous songwriting/production teams. Penned by Norwegian pop team Stargate, Blue’s debut single “All Rise” took the UK by storm and rose to No. 4 in the UK Singles chart in May 2001. The band’s subsequent single “If You Come Back” became Blue’s first No. 1 single and paved the way for their debut album “All Rise” issued in December 2001. The album, aided by the Christmas season, topped the UK Albums chart and went on to sell over 1.8 million copies.

Like its predecessor Blue’s sophomore album “One Love” debuted the UK Albums chart at No. 1 spawning the singles “One Love”, “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word” featuring Elton John, and “U Make Me Wanna”. The album cemented the group’s position in the sugary-pop world, however borrowed influences from rock, funk, R&B and soul. The band’s third full-length album “Guilty” appeared in 2003 and once again topped the UK Album Chart, however showed signs that the Blue bubble losing momentum. Led by the title track “Guilty” and subsequent “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours” featuring Stevie Wonder and Angie Stone, the album went on to sell over a million copies.

The greatest hits album “Best of Blue” hit the shelves towards the tail end of 2004, spawning the singles “Curtain Falls”, “Get Down on It”, and “Only Words I Know”. In 2005 the band announced a hiatus, allowing members to focus on their solo careers. Blue returned in 2009 with a performance at the Silverstone Classic festival in August and announced they would represent the UK at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest with their single “I Can”. In 2012 the band embarked on a tour alongside A1 and Jeff Timmons entitled “Boybands: The Greatest Hits Tour.

With contributions from R&B singers Ne-Yo and Bruno Mars, Blue released their fourth studio album “Roulette” in April 2013. Led by their single “Hurt Loves”, the album charted at No. 13 in the UK Albums chart and No. 14 in Germany. In support of “Roulette” the band embarked on “The Roulette Tour”, Blue’s fourth headlining tour across the UK and Europe. Blue subsequently released the album “Colours” in March 2015, led by the single “King of the World”.

Live reviews

Like Five - or should that be 5ive? - before them, Blue proved to be one of those boy bands who enjoyed huge success within a relatively short-lived period of time; it’s incredible to think that their initial run actually only lasted five years, between 2000 and 2005, because they packed so much commercial triumph into that period; all three of their albums during that period went platinum multiple times, and they spawned a slew of number one singles, too; the R&B-tinged sound that the group aimed for set them apart from most of their contemporaries at the time, and tapped into the success of that genre whilst simultaneously exploiting the typical pop market. After splitting in 2005 to pursue other projects - Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe had briefly successful solo careers, whilst Antony Costa was best-known for being ridiculed on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, they made several aborted attempts to reform before ITV2’s The Big Reunion catapulted them back into the spotlight; they managed to route a tour of their own with a full live band late last year, and they’ll swap those intimate venues for an arena jaunt along with the likes of Five later this year, as part of their Big Reunion commitments.

Report as inappropriate

One for the money and the free ride it's two for the times you lied, all rise! Who doesn't enjoy the nostalgic early 00's music of Blue? The UK boyband really made their mark with an R & B infused pop sound that was far more danceable than their contemporaries of the time including Westlife and Boyzone.

Unfortunately the success was short-lived and following an atrocious Eurovision entry the boys parted to work on separate projects. They cemented their return in 2013 with a solid, mature album entitled 'Roulette' and with this the original lineup took to the road to reacquaint themselves with a delighted fanbase. The four men may be older yet they can still dance having all gone on intense fitness regimes and are looking better than ever. The show is imaginably OTT including video interludes, scantily clad dancers and huge amounts of lasers yet favourites such as 'Fly By II' and 'If You Come Back' really do steal the show when performed. The brilliant encore of 'All Rise' has the whole venue singing as one momentous unit and proves that the group clearly had reason to return.

Hi, I was one of the ambulance medics @ The Foodies Festivals All over the country, had an amazing chance to meet Simon and Lee, autographs on my t. Shirt etc.....they were not only FANTASTIC ON STAGE but THE NICEST and Very funny off stage, got to know them @ each foodies festival, they where brilliant and so I'm PRAYING I can get time off work to see them ALL @ O2 London on the 13th Dec. If I can't grrrr be gutted lol.

So glad they are touring again been along time coming, tc b safe Donna xx
