A revealing and sometimes hilarious look at how creative people create, in this case, by having to create, literally overnight, a full-fledged 20 min. musical. Interviews with the individual performers, writers, directors, and composers, before and after the shows, are all superb, and edited seamlessly among each other and among the three groups at work. Seeing these people at their grungiest and lowest point, as the early morning hours and their 6 AM writing deadline approaches, is as hysterical good fun for us as it was panic-filled for them. Here are some known and unknown figures trying (and failing) to remember their songs in stairwells, in corners, tensing up with their long-time collaborators, freezing in terror, at a creative roadblock, totally discouraged and depressed, and the fact that this happens , at one time or other, to them all, before they go on, miraculously, to fabulously, perform, makes for about as compelling and delicious a documentary about the world of the arts one can see. A fantastic piece of work on what work in the theater is really like and why people have to do it. Simply great.
Pros fabulous
Yes, I recommend this movie.
