In this solo show, actor and playwright Peter Michael Marino recounts how he wrote a musical based on the film Desperately Seeking Susan featuring the music of Blondie, which opened on London's West End in 2007 and closed a month later. The high-octane comedic performance fills in the blanks of how the $6 million musical was made and unmade, from deals with MGM, Debbie Harry, and Madonna through thrilling workshops, dangerous previews, and closing night.
