About Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

Step back into the sweltering summer of 1972, New York City—a time when the Vietnam War looms large, Watergate headlines flood the news, and one man's desperate act captivates the nation.  A Brooklyn bank hold up quickly goes wrong, and with each gut-wrenching twist that unfolds, chaos ensues that ignites the city as they follow the actions of a man on the edge. Dog Day Afternoon is a raw, gritty reminder of what happens when passion and desperation collide.

Jon gave a powerful performance
"I attended the final performance on Sunday, July 12, as it was the closing day of the show's run. Jon delivered a wonderful, powerful performance and truly embraced the role with confidence and authenticity. It was impressive to watch him make the character his own. Many of the other cast members are seasoned performers with extensive experience in television, film, and theater, and they also gave outstanding performances. The production as a whole was engaging and well done. Overall, I was very pleased with the play. For someone making his Broadway debut, Jon deserves tremendous kudos—he more than held his own alongside such an accomplished cast. Since the show has now closed, I'm not sure how helpful this review will be for future theatergoers, but I wanted to recognize what a memorable performance it was."

Survey Says….
"My fam and I had a tremendous time at the show. Entertaining, suspenseful, and with enormous energy from both the cast and audience, we laughed hard and became invested in the characters and story. Easily part of our top 3 Broadway/Off-Broadway shows in the last 25 years. "

Interesting new take and actors stunned!
"I thought the addition of comedy to an already gritty and depressing story pulled the audience in. The connection and interplay between Colleen and Sunny was very endearing. I think it’s ok to inject humor into a situation that is obviously very sensitive and triggering for some—it’s a good way to catch the attention of those that at first would turn away. As a member of this community, I feel it’s important to get everyone to listen, not just those that were listening in the first place. So how you catch their attention doesn’t matter. The actors were amazing and I loved the rotating stage sets and the involvement of the audience. Very well done!"

Jon Bernthal’s Broadway Debut
