The legendary true crime story that captivated audiences in the acclaimed film is now a live, pulse-pounding Broadway event.
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. Emmy Award winner Jon Bernthal (“The Odyssey,” “The Bear”) and two-time Emmy Award winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” “The Bear”) ignite the stage with grit, heart, and humor. Witness the gut-wrenching twist as it unfolds, immersing you in the unfiltered chaos of a man—and a city—on the edge.

Lend Me Your Ears: Broadway’s ‘Dog Day Afternoon’ is a doggone mess
3 / 10
I don’t begrudge directors for taking their artistic liberties. But unjustified choices like this come across as uninspired, especially when the play tries so hard to tell the audience that it’s 1972. There are too many references to historical events, like when the hostaged bank tellers talk about Bella Abzug or when the cops and the FBI agents quarrel about New York City being on the brink of bankruptcy. When we enter the theater, a neon red sign indicating the date — Aug. 22, 1972 — is all we can see on stage. We know when and where we are. We don’t need it spoonfed with every cultural reference.
‘Dog Day Afternoon’ Review: A Robbery Revisited on Broadway
6 / 10
At times the strain of keeping up the brisk timing of the movie to fill two hours of stage time on essentially a single set results in comic vamping. A passage in which an argument erupts over which nearby shop sells the best donuts, for instance, descends into absurdity when Mr. Eddy suddenly rises from his state of near-unconsciousness to offer his opinion. (Again with the shtick!) “Dog Day Afternoon” makes for a largely diverting evening, but like many if not most stage versions of beloved films it never entirely succeeds at laying to rest the ghosts of its cinematic past.
