Synopsis
THIS SHOW IS NO LONGER PLAYING IN THE WEST END
"Desperate. I love that word. It's so romantic....."
Roberta Glass, a suburban New Jersey Housewife, uses the personal ads placed by Susan, a street-smart New York City Drifter, and her freewheeling boyfriend Jay, to escape her humdrum life. Through an unusual twist of fate Roberta and Susan unexpectedly swap lives and are launched into the reckless world of jewel hiests, magic shows and rock n' roll. The collision of their identities takes them on a wild ride of transformation and discovery, realising that just when you think you have your life mapped out, something magical happens and turns it on it's head.
This fantastic stage adaptation has combined its engaging storying with hits from the sensational band "Blondie", featuring CALL ME, HEART OF GLASS, RAPTURE, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, SUNDAY GIRL, ATOMIC, THE TIDE IS HIGH, DREAMING and HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE and the production soundtrack will also unveil a brand new 'Blondie' song especially written for the production by Deborah Harry, called "Moment Of Truth".
