2012 Edinburgh Fringe

In 2007, American writer/performer Peter Michael Marino wrote a musical based on the American film Desperately Seeking Susan, featuring the music of Blondie. It opened on London's West End ... and closed a month later. Whoops! Desperately Seeking the Exit offers a comical, tell-all, behind-the-scenes peek at how this £4m musical was made and unmade: hatching the idea, the deals with MGM, Debbie Harry and even Madonna, the workshops, the previews, the scathing reviews and the closing night. Once you're in, there's no way out! Directed by John Clancy.
