Desperately Seeking the Exit
The international h*t show about a sh*t show.
In 2007, American actor and playwright Peter Michael Marino wrote a musical based on the film “Desperately Seeking Susan,” featuring the music of Blondie.
It opened on London’s West End…and closed a month later. Whoops!
This high-octane, comical solo train ride fills in the blanks of how the $6 million musical was made and unmade. From hatching the idea to making deals with producers, MGM, Debbie Harry and even Madonna - all the way to thrilling workshops, dangerous previews, scathing reviews, closing night and beyond.
HISTORY

Stay tuned for the next phase.
