The legendary true crime story that captivated audiences in the acclaimed film is now a live, pulse-pounding Broadway event.

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.

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, gritty reminder of what happens when passion and desperation collide.

SYNOPSIS:

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.
