I saw it last year, and actually thought some of the scripted stuff was better than the improv. Also, I wasn't really sure how "improv" you can genuinely call that section where they have the audience yell out decades -- as they very likely scripted and rehearsed the ten (or whatever) different versions. Don't get me wrong, I actually thought the jokes they'd written in that area were pretty funny -- it just seemed like a "forced" bit of improv that wasn't really improvised.
