Sugar Babies (1979), a musical revue by Ralph G. Allen. [Mark Hellinger Theatre, 1,208 perf.] A collection of traditional burlesque skits and familiar musical numbers, the show was an affectionate look back at the raunchy glories of the Minsky era. The revue's stars, Hollywood favorites Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller, may have been a bigger attraction than the burlesque material, for the road company headed by two top Broadway figures, Carol Channing and Robert Morse, quickly folded. Yet when Rooney and Miller took the show on the road it was remarkably successful.
