Blue, old boy on stage (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obscene

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blue' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'old boy on stage' is the wordplay.
'old boy' becomes 'ob'.
'on stage' becomes 'scene' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ob'+'scene'='OBSCENE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obscene that I've seen before include "offending sensibilities?" , "Prurient" , "Indecent, lewd" , "Rude" , "Improper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
