Billy Crystal’s new one-man show, 860, will play Broadway’s Imperial Theatre this fall. Performances will begin on October 1, ahead of an October 21 opening night. The strictly-limited 14-week engagement will run through January 3, 2027.
Directed by Scott Ellis, 860 details the aftermath of the Palisades fires which took Crystal's home. He reflects on his family and his career—the memories and moments that mattered the most, and how the power of laughter can overcome the most difficult of times. 860 is a story about family, friendship, love, luck and loss.
