In this musical adventure, Clifford, Emily Elizabeth and the whole gang from Birdwell Island learn about Clifford's BE BIG!™ Ideas - Share, Play Fair, Have Respect, Work Together, Be Responsible, Be Truthful, Be Kind, Help Others, Believe in Yourself, and Be A Good Friend - with memorable songs, creative choreography, and lots of laughter and audience interaction. Clifford's Big Ideas came out of the curriculum developed for the award-winning animated PBS KIDS series Clifford the Big Red Dog, based on the classic children's books by Norman Bridwell.

The design team includes David Miller (scene), Paige Selene Luke (lighting), BJ Marchini (sound), and Isabel Rubio (costumes), with puppet design by The Puppet Kitchen. The production is directed by Daniel Seth (based on original direction by Mark Fleischer), with musical direction by Nathan Dame and choreography by Keith Coughlin.

The cast for Clifford the Big Red Dog LIVE! includes Mae Rose Adubato (Emily Elizabeth), TJ Bolden (understudy/Mac), Chuckie Dixon (Clifford), Abigail Krentz (Jetta), David Melissaratos (Clifford), Deangelo Miller (Charley/Mr. Partland), Maggie Ronck (Mom/Ms. Cleo/ Ms. Carrington), Molly Samson (understudy), and Brian Patrick Williams (Dad/T-Bone), with Brian Glenn as the Voice of Clifford.
