The electrifying, Oscar-winning film that captivated the country 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 grips 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 in a blaze of grit, heart, and humor—based on an outrageous true story. Witness the gut-wrenching twist as it unfolds, immersing you in the unfiltered chaos of a man—and a city—on the edge.

A cinematic and propulsive play, theater experts describe Dog Day Afternoon as “raw and emotionally exposed” (Vanity Fair). Critics applauded actors Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as explosive performers, and reviewers loved the concert-like experience of “the sound quality that rivals a Madison Square Garden concert” (Vulture).

With masterful direction by two-time Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold (King Charles III) and written for the stage by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Stephen Adly Guirgis (Between Riverside and Crazy), Dog Day Afternoon is a raw, unflinching reminder of what happens when passion and desperation collide.
