| We really thought the program was terrific but probably not foreveryone
Our family enjoyed the show and the 4 other people who were in our group
We all agreed that the shorter monologues were a bit better than the longer ones |

| I am a huge fan of the original version of the Accomplice, so was excited to try the Village edition. What a pale, watered-down version this is. It feels like the producers ran out of ideas and slapped something together to make more money. The story is harder to follow, the characters are not as fleshed out (with two exceptions in the middle of the adventure), and the ending is hands-down lame. On occasion actors were given good material and were fantastic, but some of the dialogue and story line (especially the ending) was torture to sit through.
There were some folks in our group who hadn't done the original and we all agreed that they had a better time than those of us who were repeat audience members. It's too bad that the creators didn't put more creativity into this second version so that all of us could have walked away impressed. If you've done the first version, you definitely see all the tricks coming. Bottom line... if you haven't done the original, this will be a really fun activity. If you have, you'll be disappointed but slightly amused. |

Big recommendation!

| This is my second Accomplice New York that I have had the luck to enjoy. It was one of the best times I have had in NYC. We all had a blast. My only disappointment is that I've done both Accomplices and there aren't any more! I recommend this to everyone. |

| My wife and I bought tickets on a whim. No idea what to expect or what it was all about. We showed up at the meet point where there were four other people. Soon thereafter we were greeted by the Accomplice "guide".
Let's just say that the initial guide did a very good job making me think we made a huge mistake in buying tickets (almost too good, we were seriously considering bailing...)
The funniest aspect of the "show" was I was absolutely convinced the four other people were "planted" by the show to help guide and influence us. This of course impacted my actions/reactions the entire time. Only at the end did I learn my New York paranoia got the best of me - turns out they were just on the adventure as well.
Accomplice is just good fun - no deep thoughts or revelations at the end, or wondering how the world would have changed. You just roll with it, smile a lot, try to guess whose who (well at least if you're me) and yes, there is a "ah-ha" moment where the theme snaps together and you feel like a idiot for not noticing it earlier.
You wander the Village with more than a vague notion of where you need to go, looking for the next item/person/thing to connect with to lead you to the next one and so on. Along the way, you get free drinks (courtesy of same unique Accomplice cohorts), free coffee and figure things out.
I would recommend it, just be certain to wear shoes/clothes for the weather - whatever it may be. |

| After reading the reviews and hearing about The Accomplice, I was so excited to go. It wasn't mysterious. The "clues", if you could call them that, were dumb. I kept wondering...is this it? Is this the show? There is no plot or point to the story and much of the dialogue is irrelevant, gibberish. Overall, I thought it was pretty cheesy with mediocre, implausible actors. The entire show was somewhat strange. In fact most of us were bored. AIthough some of the ideas were cute, it could have been so much more interactive. |

| Such a fun event on a beautiful fall afternoon in the city. You can hang back and enjoy it or get as involved as you'd like...in either case, it's a blast. All of the actors involved make it a really good time. |

| We loved the characters, and liked the spontaneity of the exchange between the characters and the group...they really stayed in character! This was a sweet 16 group accompanied by 2 parents and we had a great time. Our daughter had done "Accomplice - New York" , but this was totally different. We are looking forward to the the next time we have visitors...we'll bring them to Accomplice. What a great way to see the city! |

| If you are able to have fun, enjoy meeting people you don't know and love improv theatre Accomplice the Village is for you. From the minute we began our activity, our group shared in the activity and enjoyed the performances of the very talented actors. The level of creativity ranks with the best. Don't miss it. |
