Are one night only performances lucrative for performers? It's hard to imagine artists make much money for productions that run only one night. Do performers sign up for one-time only gigs for the profile of the event? I know these are minimal stagings. Some performers probably enjoy short-term gigs since they don't have a longterm committment.

People leaving that one anniversary performance of Crazy for You were asking the same question.
The advantage of one performance is that the actors are all keyed up and give it everything. The audience was full of Broadway royalty there for Susan Stroman. The one performance got a lot of concentrated good feelings that made it more likely to become a new Broadway revival.
Crazy for You was indeed supposed to open as a full revival, but it never happened. Susan still surfaces once a year to tell all that she still expects the revival to play Broadway.
