Four years ago, when Billy Crystal returned to Broadway in a well-meaning but forgettable musical adaptation of his film “Mr. Saturday Night,” one couldn’t help but wish that he would have just done stand-up comedy or a new one-man show instead, or even just revived “700 Sundays,” his hilarious and moving autobiographical show about growing up on Long Island and losing his father at 15.

*CRITIC'S PICK* “860” is a story about how Billy Crystal became Billy Crystal, and it is crucial in its telling to make clear that this is a guy who didn’t have money starting out, and who for a while was a daytime stay-at-home dad and a nighttime nascent comic, honing his act. When he and Janice buy the house, which comes with an amphitheater, he makes sure to note that they got a deal. Lack of pretentiousness — despite the wealth and fame he found — is intrinsic to his appeal.
