Billy Crystal’s new solo drama 860 will play the Imperial Theatre beginning October 1. Opening night is set for October 21, with the run scheduled to conclude on January 3.

Directed by Scott Ellis, 860 is both a memorial for the home Crystal and his family lost in the Palisades fires and a retrospective of his life and career.

A nine-time host of the Academy Awards, Crystal was last seen on Broadway in Mr. Saturday Night, the 2022 musical based on Crystal’s 1992 film. Before that he appeared in his Tony Award-winning solo play 700 Sundays, which played Broadway in 2004 and then a return engagement in 2013. Notable films include When Harry Met Sally…, City Slickers, and Analyze This. He has six Emmy Awards.

Additional production and creative team members will be announced in the coming weeks.
