Billy Crystal’s new autobiographical solo show, 860, has revealed its rush and lottery policy.
The solo show, directed by Scott Ellis, will play a 14-week engagement at the Imperial Theatre beginning October 1 prior to an official opening October 21. Performances are currently scheduled through January 3, 2027.
In-person $59 rush tickets will be available on the day of each performance at the Imperial Theatre box office. Each patron can purchase up to two tickets, subject to availability. Rush tickets will also be available for same-day performances at Rush.Telecharge.com. The digital ticket lottery will also offer $59 tickets, with entries accepted beginning one day before each performance at Rush.Telecharge.com. A digital cancellation line will form the day before each sold out performance, with tickets priced at $99 each.
The comedian first brought an autobiographical solo show to Broadway with 2004’s 700 Sundays, which served as the six-time Emmy winner’s Broadway debut. Adapted from a memoir, that work centered on his relationship with his father, who died when Crystal was 15; the two shared 700 Sundays together. The play won Crystal a Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event, and returned to Broadway for an encore in 2013.
860 draws its title from the address of his longtime California home, which was lost to the 2025 Palisades Fire. “I am thrilled to return to Broadway this fall with this challenging new show,” said Crystal in an earlier statement. “860 was the address of the home we lost in the Palisades fires. 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.”
Since the wild success of 700 Sundays, Crystal also came to Broadway with 2022’s Mr. Saturday Night, a stage musical version of his 1992 film. Crystal penned the musical’s book and reprised his screen performance as comedian Buddy Young, Jr., with Jason Robert Brown providing songs. The show earned Crystal his second and third career Tony Award nominations, for both his Book and Leading Performance.
But it is the screen where Crystal has found his most enduring fame, starring in the 1977 series Soap and later Saturday Night Live before a string of beloved movie appearances in such titles as When Harry Met Sally…, City Slickers, and Analyze This. Crystal is also a nine-time host of the Academy Awards. Along with his Tony Award, his accolades include six Emmy Awards and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, along with being named a Kennedy Center honoree in 2023.
The producing team is being led by Janice Crystal, James L. Nederlander, Larry Magid, and Face Productions. Further creative team members are to be announced.
