Billy Crystal's New Show Honors Lost Home, Friend

Billy Crystal is set to premiere his new one-man show, "860," on Broadway on October 21st. The production draws deeply from his experiences over the past year, focusing on the devastating loss of his Los Angeles home in the 2025 Palisades Fire. This personal tragedy is compounded by the recent death of his close friend, filmmaker Rob Reiner.

Crystal revealed on "CBS Sunday Morning" that the show's title, "860," is derived from his Pacific Palisades street address. He views the play as a necessary outlet for processing immense grief and pain, stemming from losing not only his home of nearly fifty years but also a cherished friend. Reiner’s passing, along with his wife Michelle Singer Reiner, occurred in December 2025.

"860" is currently in previews at the Imperial Theatre. Crystal has meticulously recreated his home office for the stage set, aiming to immerse the audience in his experience. He shared that the creative process for "860" has been profoundly healing, allowing him to confront and integrate significant losses into his life.
