Celebrated actor Billy Crystal is returning to Broadway with a deeply personal solo show set to kick off a limited 12-week run at the Shubert Theatre beginning this October. Titled 860, the autobiographical production centers on the Los Angeles home Crystal lost in the 2025 Palisades Fire.

“860 was the address of the home we lost in the Palisades fires,” Crystal said in an official statement announcing the debut of the show, which will be directed by Scott Ellis. “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.”

This isn’t the actor’s first foray into autobiographical solo work on Broadway. More than two decades ago, in 2004, Crystal made his Broadway debut with 700 Sundays, adapted from his eponymous memoir about his relationship with his father, who passed away when the actor was 15. The title refers to the 700 Sundays the pair shared together. The show later returned for an encore run in 2013.

Since then, Crystal has also appeared on Broadway in 2022 in the musical adaptation of his 1992 film Mr. Saturday Night.

Tickets for 860 are not yet available, but you can sign up for early access right here.
