Interesting tidbits about Pete Kelly's Blues

Pete Kelly's Blues is one of those shows that can easily be described as, "different."

Pete Kelly (played by the innovative Jack Webb) is a musician in a speakeasy and the show centers around him and the centers around him and his band on-stage.

Between numbers, Kelly makes his way to the bar or backstage and it's about this time that someone comes to him looking for advice or a place to hide; Pete always helps the person out and then finds himself mixed up in some or a mess.

The show has a definite noir feel to it.  It's too bad there are only a few shows in existance.
