| My husband and I had just the weekend in NYC and this was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable and I will encourage everyone I know who will be visiting to "do" Accomplice. |

Fabulous if you like that sort of thing

| I am so not the right audience for Accomplice: New York because I really don't enjoy interacting with people who are "in character" as characters other than themselves. Unfortunately, that's what Accomplice: New York turned out to be, which is something that I'd have known if I'd bothered to read the material on the web site -- or even the review that my daughter brought to my attention.
Because I'm not really the right sort of audience member for this sort of theatre-on-the-street, I felt pretty uncomfortable when having to interact with the various fictional characters. However, the actors' performances seemed campy, engaging and fun; the performers gave off vibes that made them seem nice -- even when they were supposed to be tough characters -- and everyone seemed to want to engage the audience members / tourists. In fact, everyone else on my tour seemed to be having a great time, including my daughter. And parts of the tour did seem surprising and original.
I had been interested in Accomplice: New York because of its promise to us sights that we as tourists might not ordinarily see. On that count, the tour succeeded pretty well, although the actual number of identifiable "spots" were few and (this is a strength) obscure. I will tell you that, when my daughter and I found ourselves in unfamiliar territory two days later, we were able to find our ways back to familiar neighborhoods and the subway by retracing the path from the tour -- a real boon that made the experience worth the money in my book. |

| I am so glad that I found this tour and experienced it. I didn't really know what to expect and was a little worried about bringing a 13 year old. Turns out there was no need to worry. The day was fun...the performers were great - I loved the comedy aspect of it. I also loved the diversity of characters and people we dealt with - it definitely reflected the funny sterotypes of New York characters. I could go on and on about the highlights but I don't want to spoil it. If you're up for some fun... Go see this! |

| Great fun, What a great way to spend the afternoon! The players were great at their craft and very very cleverly done. Everyone in the group was involved and had fun. This was the coolest thing I have been to in a long time. If you don't have a good time then there is no hope for you. I couldn't wait to see what was in store at the next location. I can't wait to do the one in the Village. |

| We had a family group of 12, only 2 of which were from NYC. Actors and storyline were highly entertaining, complemented by some great settings (bars/restaurants/etc) to give a flavor of the many different neighborhoods around southern part of Manhattan for those who were not from the city. |

| I thought Accomplice: New York was a great thing to do with a group of friends. Tthe actors were all very good and it was an enjoyable experience. If you are looking for something different to do, I would recommend trying this out. |

| Wouldn't recommend for older people, as a lot of walking... But thought the cast was excellent, and thought that the overall show was a great experience... |

| It's hard to know what to say without giving too much away.... The concept is fantastic and I would thoroughly recommend it. It was a shame that we had a very large group - I do think 11 people is too many. Also, we had two over enthusiastic twenty-somethings in the group that seemed to think there was some sort of prize for being first across the finishing line. They tended to run off to each 'encounter' leaving everyone else (including a couple who I'd guess to be in their sixties) tagging behind. This did become quite tiresome after a couple of hours. Obviously, there's not much the organisers can do about this but if you're considering buying tickets to this, please consider all members of the group you are with.
That said, the whole experience was well worth it and we will definitely be booking ourselves on "The Village' version on our next trip. |

| We were a diverse group (2 English couples from London, two local couples, and the 3 of us 70,69 and 36y). We met a very funny guy and then we strolled through different streets, bars, curiosities solving a riddles, look ing for building landmarks through pictures as clues, decoding secret messages, etc...At every step we were met by very funny characters full of humour. We laugh a lot and saw a lot . In short a wonderful afternoon. |

| we went with a group of 8 friends (women) and two others join our group(men). We were from LI and the guys were from Queens (although originally from out of state) It was a great time. We all got along well and had a lot of laughs. The actors were hysterical and the whole show was a lot of fun. It was a little windy and chilly-but that didn't change how much fun it was. We can't wait to do Accomplice: The Village!!!! Wish they had other shows as I think we could make this an annual outing. |
