Sugar Babies

Sugar Babies is a Broadway musical revue running from 1979 to 1982, based on standard songs and sketches from burlesque (and with the titular Sugar Babies as the burlesque girls). It was headlined by MGM musical stars Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller, who remained with the show for the entire run (apart from vacations) and returned for a 1984 tour. Other elements included a dog act, a traditional pitchman routine, jugglers, and other variety acts typical of the era.
