Directed by Tony nominee Scott Ellis, whose credits span Broadway productions including Take Me Out , Tootsie , and Kiss Me, Kate as well as television series such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , Modern Family , and Weeds , 860 finds Crystal reflecting on family, friendship, love, luck, and loss in the aftermath of the Palisades fires.

The project marks Crystal’s first Broadway appearance since 2022’s Mr. Saturday Night , the musical adaptation of his 1992 film of the same name. Long before that, he made his Broadway debut with the acclaimed one-man show 700 Sundays in 2004, earning a Tony Award and setting a then-record as Broadway’s highest-grossing non-musical.

Crystal’s career spans nearly five decades across film, television, stand-up comedy, and theater. He is best known for starring roles in films including When Harry Met Sally… , City Slickers , the Monsters, Inc. franchise, and The Princess Bride , as well as his nine turns hosting the Academy Awards between 1990 and 2012. In 2023, he received a Kennedy Center Honors for his contributions to American culture.

The full creative team for 860 is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
