Hate to burst your bubble but those were planned ad-libs. I saw the show
several times and those same "ad-libs" appeared every time.
The genius of that is he made them look fresh every night and Ann Miller
played it like it was. Seriously, it takes a great talent to do it every
night and make it look fresh!

NO. NO. NO.
The night i saw it, Ann Miller had just after being ill for a few days.
(i got lucky she was back) Mickey kept making jokes about Ann returning and
forgetting her lines---and what happened in her absence.
Also, i recall there were some annoying guys in the first row that were
yelling at Mickey in the first Act,,,,,,so in the second Act when Mickey came
out in drag, and those hecklers said something....he went right up to them
and said..... IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.
I understand your point, though. It was a show that truly wanted to mimic
the days of unscripted vaudeville acts. And it was well done.
Remember the dog act? The classroom scene with the sex joke? ----listen
to the CD!!!
