Now the writer put together a one man show in which he tells the audience what the hell went on during that hot mess.
WOO!
The writers name is Peter Michael Marino and he's done this show at Edinburgh Fringe and in two fringes in Australia: Brighton and Adelaide. Now he's (logically) coming to Orlando to make his US debut with the show.

Summary: 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 comical, 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.
