B'way Update: Billy Crystal in 860

Billy Crystal

Tony and Emmy winner Billy Crystal will return to Broadway in 860, a new solo show which he also wrote. Olivier Award winner Scott Ellis directs. Performance begin in the fall at a Shubert theater to be announced. 

"I am thrilled to return to Broadway this fall with this challenging new show," says Crystal in a statement. "860 was the address of the home we lost in the Palisades fires. We lived there for 46 years. I invite you to come inside 860 and I’ll tell you all the funny and touching things that happened there, not only in my career but to our family. It’s a joyous and heartfelt visit, about how with the love of family and friends and your inner strength, you can get through tough times. I look forward to returning to Broadway and welcoming audiences to 860."

Crystal previously appeared on Broadway in 700 Sundays in which he recounted stories of his childhood and his relationship with his father. He won a Tony Award for the show for Best Special Theatrical Event as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for Outstanding Solo Performance. In 2022, he starred in a musical version of Mr. Saturday Night, based on the 1992 film in which he starred. Crystal also co-authored the book with Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel.
