Billy Crystal’s new one-man show, “860,” is launching ticket access programs for audiences ahead of its Broadway debut. The production, written by Crystal and directed by Scott Ellis, will hold its first preview on October 1 at the Imperial Theatre, with an official opening on October 21.
According to Broadway World, the show is offering multiple avenues for discounted ticket access. In-person rush tickets priced at $59 will be available on the day of each performance at the Imperial Theatre box office, with a limit of up to two tickets per person, subject to availability. Patrons can also access digital options through https://rush.telecharge.com/, which allows them to try for Digital Rush tickets the day of the performance or Digital Lottery tickets the day before a performance, both priced at $59. For sold-out performances, a digital cancellation line will form the day before, offering tickets at $99 each.
Due to high demand, additional tickets have been released for Saturday and Sunday matinee performances through November 1, 2026, and are described as selling quickly.
The show itself is described as a personal reflection by Crystal in the aftermath of the Palisades fires, which destroyed his home. According to the source, “860” explores Crystal’s family and career, focusing on memories and moments that mattered most, and examines how laughter can help overcome difficult times. The production is characterized as a story about family, friendship, love, luck, and loss.
The creative team includes Tony Award-winner Marc Shaiman for original music and adaptations, Tony Award-winner Scott Pask for scenic design, Tony Award-winner Jen Schriever for lighting design, sound design by Tony Award nominee Dan Moses Schreier, and video design by Tony Award-winner Hana S. Kim and Kylee Loera. Davin De Santis serves as Production Stage Manager.
