Flanders and Swann: The Musical Menagerie of Eccentric British Songwriters [VHS]
Enjoy the musical menagerie of two eccentric British songwriters Michael Flanders and Donald Swann in this affectionate forty-minute program that includes their one and only Broadway performance. Flanders and Swann met in school and performed together in their first revue in 1940. However, it wasn't until 1956 when encouraged by friends, they hired a London theatre to perform for two weeks. Their successful show ran for more than two years as they sang about ostriches and gnus, warthogs, armadillos and the all-too-fallible human species. This wonderful program with witty and amiably eccentric songs will undoubtedly bring them a brand new set of fans.
