Nickelodeon’s Blue’s Clues & You! Takes Center Stage with Brand-New Special; Products Launch at Walmart
It’s showtime! Nickelodeon’s hit preschool series Blue’s Clues & You! will take center stage with a brand-new special episode, “Blue’s Sing-Along Spectacular,” featuring musical performances by pop singer Ally Brooke, the Sun (voiced by gospel sensation Yolanda Adams), Mailbox and the Mailtime Quartet, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Magenta, Blue, Josh (Josh Dela Cruz) and Joe (Donovan Patton).
In the episode, premiering Tuesday, July 14, at 9 a.m. (ET/PT), it’s Bluestock—the Blue’s Clues Music Concert—so Josh and the home viewer play Blue’s Clues to figure out what Blue wants to sing in the show, while also watching their friends take to the mic to perform show-stopping songs.
For even more Blue’s Clues & You! fun, a brand-new consumer products (plush from Just Play and learning toys under V-Tech’s LeapFrog brand) line inspired by the series is available now at Walmart. The line incorporates key elements from the show that reinforce problem solving and creative play, and enable preschoolers to engage with Blue and Josh in all-new ways. Products will roll out at all other retailers in August. Just Play and V-Tech signed on as licensees in 2019.
Additionally, beginning in August, listeners will be able to skidoo with Josh and Blue into storybooks where sleepy-time adventures await, in the upcoming original podcast series, Story Time with Josh & Blue (10 episodes), narrated by Blue’s Clues & You! host Josh Dela Cruz.
