The 12-week engagement draws on the loss of his longtime Palisades home in the 2025 wildfires.

Overview

  • Producers announced Wednesday that 860 will begin previews in October at a yet-to-be-named Shubert theatre with Scott Ellis directing for a 12-week run.
  • Written and performed by Crystal, the piece takes its title from the address of the Pacific Palisades house he and his wife lost after 46 years there.
  • The production team lists Janice Crystal, James L. Nederlander, Larry Magid, and Face Productions, and priority ticket sign-up is open at BillyCrystal860.com while the exact venue and on-sale dates remain pending.
  • Crystal describes the show as a warm, intimate visit that shares family and career memories and focuses on finding strength after loss.
  • The announcement follows his Tony-winning 700 Sundays and the 2022 musical Mr. Saturday Night, underscoring his long history of turning personal stories into stage work.
