I don't think those types of shows often repeated numbers. Performers came back, but usually with new material. I won't say it never happened, but I think it would have been pretty atypical.

The only person who ever calls it the "mirror number" is Sally. She says it to Weismann as a way of identifying herself — "I was in the mirror number" — and he doesn't really know who she was. That is the only time the phrase "the mirror number" is in the script.

I guess there has been a concert or maybe some misbegotten revival where Stella says, "If I do the mirror number, we all do the mirror number." But that is typical of the kinds of dreadful crap that happen sometimes at those kinds of events.
