The New Zealand Fringe Festival is underway in Wellington.

The New Blue is a unique performance showcasing the remarkable story and songbook of New Zealand's first recording pop star, Pixie Williams. Created by Williams' daughter Amelia Costello, it's the musical story of her life, crafted by people who knew and loved her. It's also a much wider story, exploring life in Wellington  at the time, and the music industry machinations of the 1940s and 1950s.

Performers Kirsten Te Rito, Lisa Tomlins and Jacqui Nyman joined Nick Mills in studio for a chat and a live performance about the show.

The New Blue is on at Hannah Playhouse on Cambridge Terrace, this Saturday March 2nd and Sunday March 3rd.
