Billy Crystal Broadway show '860' extended six more weeks

Billy Crystal's return to Broadway is going to last longer than expected. The Long Beach native's one-man show "860," which opened last week, is extending its run for six more weeks, producers announced on Tuesday. Instead of closing on Jan. 3, "860" will now run through Feb. 14.

The play, which takes its title from the address of the Pacific Palisades home he and his wife, Janice Crystal, lost in the California wildfires in January 2025, opened to enthusiastic reviews last week. In addition to starring in it, Crystal wrote the show, which is essentially a memoir filled with anecdotes about his life that also includes plenty of name-dropping — Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicholson and good friend Rob Reiner are among those mentioned.

One particular scene cited by critics involved Crystal paying tribute to the late actor-comedian Robin Williams. In the bit, Crystal reenacts a phone conversation with Williams pretending to be former President Ronald Reagan calling from hell.

"860" marks Crystal's first Broadway appearance since the 2022 musical "Mr. Saturday Night," which was based on the 1992 movie that he starred in and directed. He earned two Tony nominations for that show — one for his performance and another for his book.

This is Crystal's second time doing a solo show on Broadway. The first was "700 Sundays" in 2004, which dealt with the star's relationship with his father, Jack Crystal, who worked two jobs and was only able to spend Sundays with his family. Crystal starred in a Broadway revival of the show that ran from November 2013 to January 2014.
