Last Thursday, the Groundlings hosted an event called One Night Only. Here was the premise: A cast of alums, friends and current cast members were given about 24 hours to prepare to stage a classic musical for a paying audience. The night was for charity, and those who attended (like me) had no idea what the musical would be until we got there. Turns out, it was A Chorus Line, and it was a magical, emotional, very funny evening. I wrote about it in detail for Cracked.
