Short Run For "Desperately Seeking Susan"
After weeks of desperately seeking an audience, producers have pulled the plug on "Desperately Seeking Susan."
Producers announced Friday that the stage adaptation of the 1985 Madonna movie will close Dec. 15, a month after its opening night. It had been taking bookings until April.
The show, which sets the movie's story of mistaken identity to the punk-pop songs of Blondie, drew scathing reviews when it opened at London's Novello Theatre, and has struggled to sell tickets.

"Despite fantastic performances and enthusiastic audiences, the ticket sales have not been sufficient and the producers have had to make the difficult decision to close the show," producers said in a statement.
