On Oct. 11, 1975, Billy Crystal stood in the wings waiting to see if he would get to go onstage and perform a five-minute set in the first-ever episode of “Saturday Night Live.”
Unfortunately, he became the first cut-for-time casualty in the show’s history.
52 short years later (and a one-year stint as a cast member later), he’s guaranteed to take center stage in Midtown for the next few months.
As of Oct. 1, the 78-year-old is starring in “860,” a one-man show at Broadway’s Imperial Theatre where the legendary funnyman reflects on the aftermath of the 2025 Palisades fires that took his home.
“Billy relives his memories and moments that mattered the most, and reflects on how the power of laughter can overcome even the hardest of times,” the show’s website notes. “‘860’ is a hilarious and intimate story about family, friendship, love, luck, and loss.
If you’d like to see Crystal reckon with heavy subject matter with a light touch, tickets are available for all 93 remaining performances.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one show was $124 including fees on Vivid Seats (that’s for Tuesday, Dec. 15, by the way).
Other performances have tickets starting anywhere from $128 to $593 including fees.
Prior to this production, Crystal last starred on Broadway in the 2022 “Mr. Saturday Night,” based on the 1992 film that the “City Slickers” star wrote, directed and starred in.
“The Borscht Belt is alive and kvell on Broadway,” NY Post critic Johnny Oleksinski wrote in his positive review of the bawdy comedic musical.
“[He] is in tremendous form and the generous showman persona we love him for, not to mention his god-like timing, is allowed to go bananas…this is Crystal reliving his ‘When Harry Met Sally’ prime.”
All shows run one hour and 40 minutes with no intermission. The last performance is slated to take place on Sunday, Jan. 3, 2027.
And, yes, Crystal will be in all of them unlike on Oct. 11, 1975.
