Billy Crystal has announced that his Tony-winning one-man show 700 Sundays will possibly tour and transfer to the West End.
"I thought the hardest thing was getting the show to
Broadway. Now, it's
leaving," the comedian/actor told Backstage. "We've
been talking about taking it to
London. It's not ending. It might be taking it on tour." Crystal is "curious to see how the
British will react to the family."
The show recently extended its limited run, and will close on Sunday, June 12th. Performed and written by Crystal with additional content by Alan Zweibel, 700 Sundays is directed by Des McAnuff. Produced by Janice Crystal, Larry Magid and Face Productions, 700 Sundays
