Billy Crystal brings ‘700 Sundays’ to Toronto
Billy Crystal is bringing his bittersweet autobiographical one-man show to Toronto next month.
700 Sundays will play at the Canon Theatre from Sept. 28 to Oct. 9, Mirvish Productions announced Thursday. Tickets are only available to subscribers.
The show has been a huge hit on Broadway, where it closed June 12. It outsold many other Broadway plays last year, and set a sales record for a solo show. It also won a Tony Award for best theatrical event.
The title refers to the number of Sundays Crystal figures he got to spend with his hard-working father, Jack Crystal. He died when Billy Crystal was 15.
“The best work I’ve ever done in my life has been 700 Sundays,” he said at the Tony Award ceremony in June. “It’s reconnected me with myself and reminded me of what I do best, which is performing in front of people.”
Crystal is perhaps best known for hosting the Academy Awards, which he has done eight times. A former Saturday Night Live cast member, he has also had roles in movies like When Harry Met Sally and City Slickers.
