Billy Crystal's Solo Play "860" Extends Broadway Run Six Weeks, Through February 14

Billy Crystal's solo play 860 will now run on Broadway through Sunday, February 14, 2027. Deadline reported that the new closing date replaces the original one, Sunday, January 3, 2027. The extension adds six weeks to the run.

Crystal revealed the news himself in a video announcement, according to BroadwayWorld. The show opened on October 21 at the Imperial Theatre, one of the Shubert houses in the Broadway theater district.

Crystal wrote the play, and Scott Ellis directed it. It is an autobiographical solo show, so Crystal is the only performer on stage, telling his own story. The play recounts the aftermath of the Palisades fire, which destroyed Crystal's longtime home. The title refers to the street address of that house.

The show's money picture is one part of the story. Deadline reported that 860 has posted weekly grosses above $1 million. A weekly gross is the total a show takes in from ticket sales in a single week, before paying any bills. Capacity, the share of available seats that are sold, is the other number producers watch.

Reviews were favorable when the show opened, according to Yahoo Entertainment. Critics' opinions aside, the extension itself is a business decision that moves the closing date. The new end date runs past the holiday weeks and into the February stretch, which is a longer window for anyone who wants to buy seats.

Broadway shows are small businesses. Each one has a payroll, a theater to rent, and eight performances a week to pay for. A show's closing date is set by the producers, and it can change when the box office and the calendar line up in a new way.

For ticket buyers, the practical news is simple. Performances now run through February 14, 2027, and the play's tickets are sold through the usual channels, including the Imperial Theatre box office.
