On the 2nd and 3rd of March, NZ Fringe brings "The New Blue: A Portrait Of Pixie Williams" to Wellington's Hannah Playhouse.
The show celebrates the life and work of our first homegrown popstar Pixie Williams. She is the voice behind the first record wholly produced in Aotearoa: the 1949 hit "Blue Smoke". Blue Smoke went on to become triple platinum, selling over 50,000 copies, catapulting Pixie to the top of the charts. The follow up "Let's Talk It Over" was also a hit... But despite that she never directly made a single cent from either recording.
'The New Blue' is created by Pixie's daughter Amelia Costello, and is a loving look at Pixie's life – and an insight into life in Wellington at the time 'Blue Smoke' was recorded.
