Desperately Seeking the Exit

A special live reading of the international hit show about a sh*t show ... with bonus footage! In 2007, American actor and playwright Peter Michael Marino wrote a musical based on the film "Desperately Seeking Susan," featuring the hit songs of Blondie. It opened on London’s West End…and closed a month later. Whoops! This high-octane, comical roller coaster ride has played everywhere from Edinburgh to London, and LA to NYC. The critically-acclaimed solo show fills in the blanks of how the $6 million musical was made, and unmade. From hatching the idea to deals with MGM, Debbie Harry, and even Madonna – all the way to thrilling workshops, dangerous previews, scathing reviews, closing night, and beyond.
