At the Drop of a Hat
At the Drop of a Hat is a musical revue by Flanders and Swann, described by them as "An After-Dinner Farrago". In the show, they both sang, accompanied by Swann on the piano. The songs were linked by contemporary social commentary, mostly by Flanders.
The show opened at the New Lindsey Theatre, a fringe theatre outside the London West End theatre district, on December 31 1956. It was successful and transferred the Fortune Theatre in the West End on January 24 1957, where it ran for 808 performances. On October 8 1959 the show opened in New York City at the Golden Theater, running there for 215 performances.
