What's more, the Angel of Death is at the foot of his bed, giving him only one more day to live. In Have a Nice Day, Tony and Emmy Award-winner Billy Crystal leads an all-star cast live reading of this hilarious and poignant story about a man desperately scrambling to put his affairs in order: to save his presidency, his marriage, his relationship with his daughter - and possibly his life. All attendees will be part of a live recording of this performance for release on Audible.

CHESS and ALICE included - in addition to all about his upcoming concert appearance on November 23 at the Gramercy Theatre.
