As announced earlier this year, Dog Day Afternoon, a new play by Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Adly Guirgis (Between Riverside and Crazy, The Motherf***er with the Hat), based on the legendary true story that captivated audiences in the Oscar-winning motion picture, will come to Broadway this season with Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Dates and a Broadway theatre have just been revealed for the upcoming production.
Dog Day Afternoon will begin performances on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, and officially open Sunday, March 30, 2026 at Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre for a strictly limited engagement.
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. A Brooklyn bank hold up quickly goes wrong, and with each gut-wrenching twist that unfolds, chaos ensues that ignites the city as they follow the actions of a man on the edge. Dog Day Afternoon is a raw, gritty reminder of what happens when passion and desperation collide.
Additional casting and the complete creative team will be announced shortly.
