Accomplice: New York

GREAT AFTERNOON for amateur sleuths

by Donna from Marietta at Citysearch

6 amateur sleuths from GA, FL and WI who enjoy Geo Caching and the like were delightfully amused on our travels thru Little Italy, China Town and the surrounding area. The Accomplice crew members we fun, funny and excellent at their jobs! Adult beverages, frogs in bags and interesting clues were all part of our GREAT AFTERNOON on 9/20/09. At the very end, I fell right off my chair and thankfully NO ONE had their camera ready!

• Pros: Full of unexpected laughs

Both Accomplice shows are great!

by lander22 at Citysearch

I have now been to both Accomplice, N.Y.s, downtown and the village. Both are great. The actors are wonderful and great at Improv. Such a great fun thing to do with a group of friends. Not only is the show very entertaining but you get to see cafes, bars, and shops, along the way that you might have never known were there. I plan to go back to the neighborhoods visited during the show for dinner and fun at a later date. The show downtown has a lot more ground to cover than the village, so if you are going with someone who has any trouble walking I would go to the village show. Enjoy!!

• Pros: Great value, funny funny funny! Good for all ages

Most Fun We Had In NYC

by iliketheatre at Citysearch

Better not to tell anything at all other than to go - The "show" is part game and part theatre. It's full of surprises and super fun. Takes place all over Greenwich Village and there are improv actors - it was hilarious and full of surprises. Don't want to ruin it but check it out if you're looking for something different. Our teenagers even liked it! We saw the "Village" version. I believe the "New York" version opens in April. Have fun!

• Pros: Super Unique, Great Actors

Good for tourists, Great way to see a small section of the city, kind of dumbed down...

by MDGQ at Citysearch

I was excited to do this show after my wife found it online. It was mysterious and I was expecting a day full of espionage. As we were waiting for our contact, I was watching EVERYONE. We kept pointing out people we thought were in on it. That alone I thought would make this a great day; not knowing who was in on it and who was.

Well....

It's not long before you figure it out. The characters are SO over the top and WAY overacted. That kind of thing might be good for a tourist, but even the people in our group from the midwest were cringing at the cheese factor.

All of the actors were very nice, very accomodating, but with the exception of one at the end, very cheesy and almost unbearable.

There really was no adrenaline, no mystery, no excitement. There was a great walking tour of Little Italy and Chinatown, but that was the extent of it. I won't give up any secrets, but I really wanted this to work and it just doesn't.

I like the idea, but we spent the day figuring out ways to do it better. That's not what I expected to get out of the price.

ACCOMPLICE TOUR (WIZARD OF OZ)

by COVERJ at Citysearch

The second Accomplice tour we went on was very boring and disappointing. The first tour we went on was EXCITING, FULL OF ENERGY and FUN, what happened? If you went on the first tour, do not expect a great time. Probably won't go again.

• Pros: BORING
• Cons: NONE

Great way to see the city

by littlecherub at Citysearch

We took this "tour" while on our honeymoon. It was the most fun I've had in a long time, I can't say too much about the "plot" but I saw more of the city then I ever have, we were with a group that were celebrating a 40th birthday, I would recommend this to anyone. I hope to go back with girlfriends and do the Greenwich Village show. It's part scavenger hunt, part walking tour. I was apprehensive because I don't like "hammy" actors but they were fantastic.

Memories galore

by gaerielsky at Citysearch

Holy cow, this was a fantastic way to introduce people to NYC. Had a group of friends in last August and instead of doing a boring tour decided this might be more fun and adventurous. We had a blast (ages ranged from early 20s to 50s) being instructed on picking up documents, making drops, and not being a stool pidgeon. LOL Got to see parts of NY I wouldn't ever have seen, as well as the more famous. I'll never forget my friend Alyssa going across the Brooklyn Bridge to retrieve a clue! LOL The best part is that its fun and you never know WHO is in on it and who isn't (because let's face it... we NYers are nuts to begin with). :) Well worth your time and money.

• Pros: unique, fun, adventurous
• Cons: might be bad in inclement weather

Teams of sleuths embark across Lower Manhattan, solving the criminal mystery behind this interactive theater show and walking tour.

by Katie Heffernan at Citysearch

In Short
It starts with a telephone call from a gritty voice--"I don't know nothin' about nothin' 'cept where you gotta be tomorrow." The plot thickens as groups of tourists and families become criminal middlemen, slinking through the Financial District, Chinatown and Little Italy to perform covert hand-offs for a gang of improvising wise guys. Groups get out what they put in, so keep in character for the duration--and the surprise ending will pay off even more.
