Flying Colors is a musical revue with a book, lyrics, and music by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz and sketch contributions by George S. Kaufman, Corey Ford, and Charles Sherman.
The Broadway production opened on September 15, 1932 at the Imperial Theatre, closing on January 25, 1933, after 188 performances.
Directed by Dietz and choreographed by Albertina Rasch, the cast included Clifton Webb, Patsy Kelly, Imogene Coca, Larry Adler, Charles Butterworth, Tamara Geva, and Buddy and Vilma Ebsen.
For the first act finale, "Louisiana Hayride", the designer Norman Bel Geddes used a movie film to give "focal depth to a fluid and enrapturing vista."
