CINCINNATI, OH –  In 2007, Peter Michael Marino wrote the musical version of the Madonna movie “Desperately Seeking Susan” featuring the hit songs of Blondie. 

The mega-musical opened on London’s West End – and closed a month later. WHOOPS!
“Desperately Seeking the Exit” is Pete’s critically acclaimed true story of the making and unmaking of his notorious flop that has played everywhere from the USA, to the UK, to Australia.
At this two-night-only Cincy Fringe Special Event, the show gets a new twist as Marino’s roller coaster tale is joined by performers from Cincy’s theater and Fringe scene.

Scheduled Celebs:
  • Thursday, June 6 – Burgess Byrd, Darnell Pierre Benjamin, Sara Mackie, Peter Michael Marino, Patrick E. Phillips, and Rory Sheridan
  • Friday, June 7 –  Les Kurkendaal-Barrett, Sarah Knittel, Erika Kate MacDonald, Robert Macke, Peter Michael Marino, and Paul Strickland
