On the revival edition, Sandy Duncan version, of The Boy Friend with the song It's Never Too Late the older male character whispers to the young flapper actress "look!" just before they sing their song.

On the 1962 revival cast of Anything Goes the chorus whoops it up with adlibs during the title number dance and one of the members shouts "Happy Easter" which may indicate when the album was recorded.

I know this was posted 9 years ago but I think it’s important that this line is literally a joke... it’s the vice principal who was the word reader not knowing how to turn off the mic. It’s said at full volume and so clearly not a mistake, I find this hilarious.

On The Wiz cast album, on the song "Home," Stephanie Mills sings "Suddenly my world's gonned...." instead of "gone." Maybe that's how she did it in the show?
And correct me if I'm wrong, but on the title song of Company, there's a really flat note on the held "We loooooooooooove you" and it sounds like Stritchie.

There is, of course, the legendary toilet flush in "Maybe my Baby Loves me" in GRAND HOTEL.

I don’t hear this one. How would a microphone have ended up anywhere near a bathroom?

In the original London cast recording of "Miss Saigon", on the song "Room 317", Claire Moore accidentally sings "Chris is MARRIAGE to me, we want kids of our own", instead of "Chris is MARRIED to me..."

Some of these "flubs" may no longer exist if the recordings have been remastered.

You can't get rid of a flub in a remastering. You have to go back and remix and see if said "flub" can be gotten rid of. That said, 90% of what's being described in this thread are not flubs at all. Hearing a page turn or a chair squeak is hardly a flub. The early cast albums were all recorded in a day, mixed in a day, and prssed and in stores five days later. Today's cast albums are allotted much more time, not to the better, IMO, as they all sound lifeless and dead, but that's another story for another day. But people mis-hear things as flubs, or they think an actual line of dialogue is a flub, and on it goes. A flub, correctly identified herein by someone, is Channing in the original album of Dolly, coming in early on Put on Your Sunday Clothes. Either the producer and engineer didn't hear it during the session or they were behind and let it go. There's no fixing it ever, as Dolly was recorded on three-track tape and there would be no way to edit it out as it's in all the mics.
