| Mame (Theatre) | comment |
A 1966 musical with book by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee and music by Jerry Herman, Mame debuted on Broadway with Angela Lansbury starring in the title role.Based on the Auntie Mame novels by Patrick Dennis, it tells of the adventures of a young boy, orphaned by the death of his father, being raised as the ward of his wealthy, eccentric, and free-spirited aunt during The Great Depression.It was adapted into a 1974 film starring Lucille Ball (in her last big-screen performance), with Bea Arthur and Jane Connell both reprising their stage roles as Vera Charles and Agnes Gooch respectively. Gene Saks, who'd directed the Broadway production, also helmed the film version. | |

Gaussian Girl | |
| Mame (Theatre) / int_3f86799c | comment |
Gaussian Girl: In the 1974 film, Lucille Ball is frequently shot in soft focus to cover for the fact that she was in her early 60s; this is especially jarring when the camera alternates between close-ups of her and much sharper close-ups of her co-stars. | |

Dreaming of a White Christmas | |
| Mame (Theatre) / int_5485efbf | comment |
Dreaming of a White Christmas: Immediately after the "We Need a Little Christmas" number in the film version, it starts snowing. (True, not entirely unheard-of for New York in November, but still...) | |

Christmas Creep | |
| Mame (Theatre) / int_64b42bc4 | comment |
Christmas Creep: In the song "We Need a Little Christmas", Mame deliberately applies this, since she's at a low point in her life (having gotten wiped out in the 1929 stock market crash) and needs Christmas to cheer her up. Her nephew Patrick protests, "But, Auntie Mame, it's one week past Thanksgiving Day now!", implying that it's far too early to be getting into holiday festivities. Since around the Turn of the Millennium that lyric sometimes gets changed to "one week from (or 'til) Thanksgiving Day", as even most critics of Christmas Creep would not consider any time post-Thanksgiving to be particularly early by modern-day standards. | |

Time-Shifted Actor: The musical follows Patrick Dennis, both as a 10 year-old and as a young adult. As such, there are two actors. And they sing a duet at the start of act 2. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Mame and Vera not only are this trope, but sing a song about it: "Bosom Buddies," where they claim they can get away with insulting each other because only a bosom buddy would be so truthful. | |

The Show Must Go Wrong | |
| Mame (Theatre) / int_e3edc213 | comment |
The Show Must Go Wrong: Vera Charles invites Mame to be in her "terribly modern operetta" about a lady astronomer as the singing moon-lady. Unfortunately, Mame enters at the wrong time and then falls off the moon, ruining the whole show. The exact details vary between productions, but it's bad enough that Mame gets fired right after the curtain call. | |

Hippie Teacher: In the movie version of the song, "Open a New Window", we see Mame taking her nephew to many different schools with different educational philosophies, but she promptly pulls him out of an all-nude, all-boys' school headed by a nude headmaster. | |
