Bonnie Hunt to Join Billy Crystal at PPAC's Annual Gala
Spend the Night with Billy Crystal has been described as "a smorgasbord of zesty stories and sharp impressions," and a "trip down memory lane" led by Tony® and Emmy Award®-winning comedian Billy Crystal, who has been lauded as "brilliant, "eternally ageless," "mesmerizing," and "dazzling."

"This show is unique. There's stand up, and 'sit down' which gives me great freedom to tell stories, show film clips and talk about my life and career and the world as I see it," says Crystal of the new show. "It's loose, unpredictable, and intimate. The most fun I've had on stage in a long time."
Audiences and critics alike are praising the unique format as well, with theOrlando Sentinel noting, "The crowd happily ate up whatever Crystal was serving because it was prime fare," and Sarasota Magazine praising Hunt's presence, writing she "makes a good partner throughout the evening, getting in a few good comedy lines herself as well as asking Crystal the questions that spark his best stories."
