1992 was a banner year for film flops: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, Captain Ron, Cool World, Newsies. Only Newsies was resurrected as a Tony Award-winning Broadway show (although we're still hoping to see Sylvester Stallone's Sgt. Joe Bomowski on The Great White Way), and now the musical is raising money for people living with AIDS, at the cabaret fundraiser One Night Only. The touring cast of the Disney show is warbling peppy tunes about destitute newsboys for The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation. Expect to see singer Sharon McNight, America's Got Talent star Shawn Ryan, and comedy writer/Hollywood Squares panelist emeritus Bruce Vilanch. A hundred percent of the ticket price goes to AIDS nonprofits, and hey, big spender — spend $80 and have a good time at the sugar- and cocktail-fueled dessert afterparty.
One Night Only starts at 7:30 p.m. at Marines' Memorial Theatre, 609 Sutter St., S.F. $35-$80; helpisontheway.org or 273-1620.
