Billy Crystal’s new one-man show 860 is running a limited engagement at Broadway’s Imperial Theatre through early January 2027. Written and performed by Crystal and directed by Scott Ellis, the show draws from personal stories tied to the Pacific Palisades home he lost in the 2025 fires. Tickets are available now, and there are solid low-price options through rush and lottery if you’re flexible.
