Run do not walk to see this play!
"I went in with high expectations and not only did it not disappoint, it exceeded them. Brilliant choices for the actors. Great stage production and use of space. Really loved the music and it brought me right back to the 1970s. True to the movie. Honestly, one of the best plays I’ve ever seen."

Bernthal steals the show in this play based on a real-life botched robbery
"Just saw the play during the preview period on 3/14. Jon Bernthal has “Sonny” already locked-in despite only day 4 of preview performances. His talent shown on the screen is displayed exponentially live on stage. Set design was top notch and beyond creative. Humorous moments in the play had the entire audience laughing and the pop music interludes made transitions seamless. This is a must-see."

Jon Bernthal Nails It
"Attended the first preview on Tuesday 3/10 with my wife. Jon Bernthal as Sonny carried the performance and was spot on with his lines and pacing.
The second act dragged a bit, and there are likely some small trims to be done to keep the pacing brisk."

Entertainment on many levels
"This movie was one of my all time favorites, so it was “must” to experience on Broadway. An added plus was seeing Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bacharach, from the Bear. The entire cast and their dynamic was engaging as well as the music and humor. "

First Ever Play
"Not sure how much id like a play. I love jon bernthal and ebon so i figured what could be bad. I don't think I couldve had a better time watching a show! The acting was great, everything was amazing. Just upset that it was my first ever play because nothing will be able to top it!"

More of an experience than a show
"I felt like I was transported back into time. The acting was superb and Jon reminded me so much of Al Pacino - his demeanor--his phrasing. The intermission was great- the audience was rockimg out to 70's music. And the best part was the actors come outside after the play is over and sign autographs!!!"

Fan of The Bear? Can't Miss
"Jon Bernthal & Ebon Moss-Bachrach are phenomenal actors whose best display was on the most recent special release episode of "Gary" for The Bear. To get to see them both in person this week playing off a classic New York movie thriller, similar to how Pacino & Cazale had acting history together before playing Sonny & Sal in the film, was very special. Really enjoyed the show, awesome acting and great set capturing the bank & outside. "

Amazing and beautiful
"My Son and I went to see a Dog Day Afternoon Broadway comedy show and My Son and I had an amazing time. The show was very funny and kept me laughing the whole time. The actors did a great job and had a lot of energy on stage. The audience was really into it, which made the experience even better.
The theater atmosphere on Broadway was exciting and lively. My Son and I would definitely recommend seeing a comedy show if you want a fun night out. We would go again!"

Back in the Day
"This is definitely suitable for those who remember that era and know the reference to the NY of that time and America of that time, not to mention how special each neighborhood was and the people that those neighborhoods were made up of.
It would also interest those who have seen the movie and the incredible performance by Al Pacino and the late John Cazale (Fredo in The Godfather Part II)."

Very good
"Having recently seen the Broadway production of Dog Day Afternoon in New York, I was struck by the uniformly excellent performances across the entire cast. The supporting roles were particularly noteworthy; Ebon Moss-Bachrach was incredible as Sal, delivering a performance of remarkable depth, intensity, and quiet gravitas that powerfully anchored the central relationship. Even the broader ensemble executed their parts with precision, clarity, and genuine commitment, creating a cohesive and believable world on stage. The production skillfully incorporated humor throughout, which I found genuinely enjoyable; however, the show occasionally slipped into a sitcom like sensibility that lightened the tone. While this comedic approach provided real entertainment value, I found myself wishing for a more serious and unflinching exploration of the brutal realities of that era, particularly the profound challenges and hardships faced by minorities and the gay community in the 1970s."
