THE ESTABLISHMENT opened at a club/restaurant in the Soho district of London. After one year, in an exchange deal with The Second City Revue, it went to Chicago and in December, 1962, to Washington, D.C., followed by New York City. A second New York edition with a new cast opened 31 Oct 1963, Stroller's Theatre Club, 238 performances, followed by tour.

Unlike the usual improvisational revue, this one took ideas suggested by the cast at daily rehearsal sessions and elaborated on them until each number had been worked out in detail. This way material could be changed constantly to keep the revue topical. Only the material on the cast albums has been listed for the Soho production. Music was addded to the first U.S. and subsequent productions.
