I guess if it's a show tunes medley it's supposed to imply something about the sexual orientation of the emcee? Of course, any aficionado would know that "Auntie Mame" is the name of Patrick Dennis' novel. Yes, there was a Broadway production called that, but I don't believe it was a musical.
What everyone remembers is the musical "Mame" (also based on that novel) with Angela Lansbury and the movie with Lucille Ball. That's what you'd play in a show tunes medley.
I don't know what all that says about me (at least in the artist's eyes)... She never gets her facts "straight" :-) anyway.
I think what Julie is trying to express is that when these singing groups get a captive audience, they sing every song they know!!! I was at one the other night and everyone was like Burl---we are tired and want to go home!!!! Please stop---we have had enough!!!
