Billy Crystal’s Broadway One-Man Show “860” Sets Imperial Theatre Dates, Runs 14 Weeks

“860,” the new one-man show starring Billy Crystal and directed by Scott Ellis, will begin a limited Broadway run at the Imperial Theatre on Oct. 1, with an official opening slated for Oct. 21, and tickets available for performances through Jan. 3, 2027.

Billy Crystal’s new Broadway one-man show “860” has set its schedule for a limited engagement at the Imperial Theatre, with performances beginning Thursday, Oct. 1, and an official opening on Wednesday, Oct. 21, according to Deadline. The production will play through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2027, for a total run designed as a 14-week limited engagement.

The show is directed by Scott Ellis, whose Broadway credits include productions such as “Fallen Angels” and “Art.” “860” marks another high-profile Broadway return for Crystal following years of prominent stage and screen work, with producers framing the project as a solo vehicle built for Broadway audiences.

Deadline said the complete creative team for the previously announced production will be announced at a later date. Until those names are released, details tied to casting beyond Crystal and full production staff remain pending, including the remaining design and production roles typically listed for Broadway show announcements.

The Imperial Theatre engagement places “860” among the fall and winter lineup for Broadway venues, with the schedule structured to start in early October and continue into the new year. The dates also create an extended runway for previews and press coverage ahead of the formal Oct. 21 opening, when the show will become eligible for the season and publicity cycle associated with an official Broadway opening.

Under typical Broadway season practice, a show’s official opening can affect press schedules, critic attendance, and formal reviews, while previews begin earlier under the same production heading. For audiences, it means ticketing and scheduling will cover both the preview period starting Oct. 1 and the period beginning with the official Oct. 21 opening.

Organizers and theater operators also coordinate logistical steps around a production’s official opening, including finalizing promotional materials and confirming performance calendars tied to that opening date. Deadline’s announcement indicates that the production’s public-facing creative roster will be completed as the remaining team is confirmed.

For theatergoers planning trips around the run, the published window extends from early fall into late winter, with performances continuing through Jan. 3, 2027. As additional production details are released, updates are expected to include information about the complete creative team referenced in the original announcement.

Why It Matters

  • The defined start, official opening, and end dates shape ticket demand and audience planning across the fall-to-winter Broadway calendar.
  • Because the complete creative team has not yet been announced, additional production roles may affect public listings and future marketing materials.
  • The 14-week limited engagement limits how long the production will be available in the theater schedule, which can affect how the run is timed with other shows.
  • A formal Oct. 21 opening provides a clear milestone for press and review processes tied to Broadway openings.
  • As additional staff and creative listings are confirmed, audiences and industry stakeholders will have more complete information about the production’s full production team.
