Billy Crystal Returns to Broadway with Wildfire Show

Billy Crystal, the Tony and Emmy Award-winning performer, will return to Broadway this fall with a new one-man show inspired by the destruction of his family's longtime Los Angeles home in the 2025 Palisades wildfires. Titled 860 after the street address of the residence where he lived for 46 years, the intimate production will begin previews in October at a Shubert Theatre yet to be announced, running for a limited 12-week engagement.

Written and performed by Crystal, the show is directed by Scott Ellis, the interim artistic director of Roundabout Theatre Company, and produced by Crystal's wife Janice Crystal, theater owner James L. Nederlander, Larry Magid, and Crystal's Face Productions. Additional creative team members are expected to be revealed soon.

"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.
