ACCOMPLICE: NEW YORK Returns For Eighth Season

Part game, part theater, and part tour, ACCOMPLICE: NEW YORK offers an immersive theatrical experience,taking its audience on a journey through iconic locations and out of the way spots – to aid and abet a series of shady characters in the commission of a crime.  

Groups of 10 begin every half hour from 1pm to 5pm, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and the ticket includes a few drinks and light appetizers along the way. ACCOMPLICE: NEW YORK takes place entirely on foot throughout the lower Manhattan neighborhoods of Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy and the Financial District.  

A 2-½ hour show, ACCOMPLICE: NEW YORK sends its audience out to traverse the city streets, seeking out The Players of an meticulously detailed plot. By the time the afternoon is over audiences are hard pressed to figure out who is part of the story and who are the denizens of the New York city streets.

ACCOMPLICE: NEW YORK begins with a mysterious phone call disclosing the secret meeting location. Participants are then sent on a mission, aided by clues and idiosyncratic local characters lurking on street corners, bars, iconic landmarks and out of the way spots.  The audience themselves become part of the story as they travel from spot to spot and clue-to-clue to propel the story forward.  With New York City as a backdrop for the action, identifying cast members from civilians becomes a challenging part of the fun. 

Accomplice: New York, the original Accomplice production, is the creation of brother-and-sister-team Tom Salamon and Betsy Salamon-Sufott and began its run in April 2005.

Catching fire as an inventive and captivating experience, word of Accomplice: New York spread and shows began to sell out months in advance. After thousands of enthusiastic audience members participated in their first unique experience, the creators returned with an all-new New York City adventure, Accomplice: The Village in January 2007.

Actor Neil Patrick Harris had seen a promotional postcard for the show; a game and mystery fan (his 30th birthday party was an elaborate surprise scavenger hunt) he was intrigued – so as a member of the public, he bought tickets to check it out.

Harris soon brought the team to Hollywood for its next creation, Accomplice: Hollywood.  2010 brought two new productions: the UK for Accomplice: London (also co-produced by Harris, along with acclaimed London theatre company The Menier Chocolate Factory) and the latest adventure, Mystery At The Museum at the American Museum of Natural History back on their home turf of New York.

Tickets priced at $65 are available online at http://www.zerve.com/accomplice/any or by calling 1-800-979-3370. Groups of 10 are encouraged, but smaller groups and solo adventurers are welcome.
