Billy Crystal Returns to Broadway in New One-Man Show 860 This Fall

Tony Award winner Billy Crystal will return to Broadway this fall in a new one-man show, 860. Written and performed by Crystal and directed by Scott Ellis, performances will begin in October at a Shubert Theater to be announced. The production will run for a strictly limited 12-week engagement.

“I am thrilled to return to Broadway this fall with this challenging new show,” said Crystal. “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.”
