Can someone please explain the Adventurer's Club and the song stuff to me?

The Adventurer's Club is pretty unique in that it combines what you normally
see in "streetmosphere" in Disney-MGM, mixed in with scripted shows that
feature the actors singing. The shows are the same each night, (with
an extra show featuring the Maid on weekends), but the ACTORS rotate
roles. So the actor portraying the club's dashing aviator Hathaway Browne
might play the club Treasurer, ichthyologist Otis T. Wren the next night.
Each actor/actress puts his/her own spin on the characters, and there's a
LOT of room for ad-libs. If they have an opening for such, it makes for a
hilarious evening.
What most people don't realize when they walk into the club is that it appears
to be a rather humdrum bar when there aren't any shows in the Main Salon.
Stay for awhile. One of the characters will announce which show is coming
up next (or if they're about to induct you as a new member of the club.
The reference I made about the Hoopla! show is the last show of the evening,
where a few cast members will sing novelty songs in the Library. I've seen
some funny ad-libs during this show, but mostly, it's just fun.
It's hard to put a label on the place, but "comedy cabaret" would seem to
be appropriate.
