"Impeccable casting and even better delivery. Jon Bernthal killed it, and full transparency, is why I went to see the show. But EVERYONE stood out in their own right. Go see this. It’s hilarious, unexpected, intense, and truly worth it. Also, the set and costuming is just perfect. Bonus- the music is on point!"

Lots of Surprises & Fantastic Cast
"As big fans of Jon Bernthal, we booked a weekend trip to NYC to see his Broadway debut. He was phenomenal. Ebon Moss-Bachrach (the beloved Lieberman in The Punisher season one), John Ortiz (the astute Detective Torres in The Drop opposite Tom Hardy), and the rest of the cast also gave fantastic performances. The plot took multiple twists we didn’t see coming. If I were back in the area, I would definitely buy tickets to see it again."

Great Performances
"Our family had the pleasure of catching the play during our trip to NYC. Our group ranged from early teens, early twenties, and adult parents. We all loved it! The performances were great and anchored by Jon Bernthal’s fantastic acting as Sonny. The central themes of capitalism, division, and LGBTQ rights continues to resonate today. It was the highlight of our trip! Also, as an aside, the actors came out after the show and signed autographs, and were so gracious with the fans."

Tense, Fun, and Funny

Phenomenal Staging of a classic 70s New York Film
"The cast and the acting are amazing. This 50+ year-old story is still relevant and the play is updated here and there to make it even more so. More humor, intense emotional moments, and a warmer enveloping of the audience to bring them into the story as it develops. Highly recommend."

A True Classic Retold
"Loved that this classic movie was retold in a play setting. Loved the way they transitioned the scenes from outside/inside of bank. I have loved the movie with Al Pacino and to see it retold on stage was wonderful. Pivotal moments in the movie were added into the play and some funny scenes as well. I truly enjoyed the experience!"

Amazing
"I’ve seen a lot of shows over the past 30 years, but only one has truly stayed with me—Jersey Boys.
This was my first Broadway show, and my first time experiencing one on Broadway itself, and it completely blew me away.
Jon Bernthal’s performance was nothing short of spectacular. The entire supporting cast—Ebon, John, Jessica, and so many others—brought so much depth and energy that it made the whole experience unforgettable.
It was powerful, moving, and something I’ll never forget. Bravo to everyone involved, and thank you for giving me such an incredible experience."

Best Play I've Seen in 10 years - Dog Day Afternoon
"This season of plays launching are star-studded and I am a fan of Bethernal. For that reason I went to see DDA as my 1st play of 2026. I took my wife and sat 9 rows from the front. The energy from the play radiated through the entire Orchestra seating. The set design rotates to give you a Cinematic feel to it. The show is a combination of Comedy, Action and Heart. This is the best play I've seen on Broadway in atleast a decade. If you sit Orchestra there is a level of Crowd Participation (I won't ruin the surprise).
The Cast is full of ppl you know from TV that you recognize but don't know their names. It sincerely feels like you are watching a LIVE movie in action. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out. "
