About the show

About

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.
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.

August Wilson Theatre

The August Wilson Theatre, originally opened in 1925 as the Guild Theatre, is a distinguished Broadway venue known for its rich history and architectural charm. Designed by architects C. Howard Crane and Kenneth Franzheim, the theatre's facade is inspired by a 15th-century Tuscan villa, featuring stucco surfaces and distinctive loggias. Over the years, it has undergone several name changes: it became the ANTA Theatre in 1950 and was later renamed the Virginia Theatre in 1981. In 2005, it was renamed in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson, becoming the first Broadway theatre to bear the name of an African-American. The venue has hosted numerous acclaimed productions, solidifying its status as a cornerstone of New York City's vibrant theatre scene.
