Peter Michael Marino

Peter Michael Marino returns to London's West End with his hit solo show Desperately Seeking The Exit - a comedic autopsy about his flop West End show Desperately Seeking Susan - The Musical.

In this high energy show Peter Michael Marino tells the crazy but true story of how the much anticipated stage musical of the film starring Madonna and Rosanna Arquette, featuring the music of Blondie, opened on London's West End stage in 2007 - and closed a month later.

Directed by award winning director John Clancy, Desperately Seeking The Exit offers a front row behind-the-scenes peek into how Marino's £4m musical was made and unmade: The 70-minute solo comedy monologue offers audiences a humorous, insightful, peep into the collective cock-ups along Peter Marino's painfully funny journey from page to stage. From hatching the idea, to the deals with MGM, Debbie Harry and even Madonna; right up to the workshops, the previews, the scathing reviews, closing night and beyond.

Of the show, Peter Michael Marino said 'It's rare to hear someone involved in a major flop musical talk about it - let alone laugh about it. The Edinburgh Fringe was exciting and eye-opening. I had a blast with the international audiences, and their reactions encouraged me to bring the show to London where the whole journey began'.
