“Highly entertaining. A salutary lesson to anyone looking to the stage for fame, fortune and happiness.” — British Theatre Guide In 2007, American 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.
DESPERATELY SEEKING THE EXIT offers a behind-the-scenes peek at how this $6 million musical was made and unmade: hatching the idea, deals with MGM, Debbie Harry and even Madonna; the workshops, the previews, the scathing reviews, closing night and beyond. Saturday and Sunday, March 22 & 23 at 8pm.
