The Bear stars Jon Bernthal & Ebon Moss-Bachrach headed to Broadway in ‘Dog Day Afternoon

A buzzy new play will mark the Broadway debuts of two stars of The Bear.

Emmy winners Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will lead Dog Day Afternoon, a stage adaptation from Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Adly Guirgis of the 1975 crime movie.

“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,” reads a synopsis of the new production.

“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,” it continues. “Dog Day Afternoon is a raw, gritty reminder of what happens when passion and desperation collide.”The new production, to be directed by Rupert Goold, will see Bernthal, 48, play Sonny Amato (based on the character played by Al Pacino in the original film), while Moss-Bachrach, 48, plays Sal DeSilva (based on the character originally played by John Cazale).

Both actors have earned Emmys for their work on the hit comedy series The Bear, Bernthal for his guest star appearance playing Mikey Berzatto and Moss-Bachrach twice consecutively the past two years for his supporting performance as Richie Jerimovich. The show will air the entirety of its fourth season on FX on Hulu June 25.

Bernthal recently starred in Ben Affleck’s The Accountant 2 and will next appear in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Netflix miniseries His & Hers, as well as continuing to play Punisher in Marvel’s Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again.

Moss-Bachrach next appears as The Thing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s The Fantastic Four: The First Steps (in theaters July 25) and subsequent Avengers installments. The Sidney Lumet-directed, Frank Pierson-written Dog Day Afternoon, which was based on a real-life 1972 robbery and hostage situation, was nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture, winning for its original screenplay.

The new adaptation hails from Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, which has also produced several screen-to-stage adaptations, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Beetlejuice and Elf, as well as current Broadway shows The Outsiders, Good Night, and Good Luck and Real Women Have Curves. Their upcoming such projects include The Lost Boys and Crazy Rich Asians.
