LIVE AT MR. KELLY'S
The iconic Mister Kelly's illuminated legendary Chicago's Rush Street and the entire country by launching talents like Barbra Streisand, Richard Pryor, Bob Newhart, Bette Midler, and Steve Martin. Its visionary owners, George and Oscar Marienthal, smashed color and gender barriers to put unknown, controversial voices on stage--and transformed entertainment as America knew it in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Now, with the club long gone and its star talent reaching its golden years, George's son David and Director/Screenwriter Theodore Bogosian go on a quest to collect the memories of the clubs before they are lost. Through celebrity interviews, live footage, photos, music, and song, the film portrays the most beloved and famous talent of our time at the decisive moments when they showed up, dug deep, and broke in.
