700 SUNDAYS, an autobiographical journey, is an original two-act play in which Billy plays numerous characters that have influenced who he is today. It deals with his youth, growing up in the jazz world of Manhattan, his teenage years, and finally adulthood. It is about family and fate. In its opening week on Broadway, 700 SUNDAYS broke the house record for highest weekly gross at the Broadhurst Theatre and then continued to top its own record every week. The show won the 2005 Tony Award for Special Theatrical Experience and both the 2005 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Solo Performance.

“This show has been the greatest professional experience of my life and the audiences have been fantastic. It was great to be part of the Broadway community and now I'm grateful to have the opportunity to share this with audiences in Chicago. I so loved the experience of performing live on Broadway and getting close to an audience that I'm thrilled to be able to perform for the rest of the country. I can't get enough of this,” said Billy Crystal.
