  • In 1992 Billy Crystal directed his first movie, "Mr. Saturday Night," about an abrasive stand-up comic. Back then, Crystal required hours of makeup to play the 73-year-old washed-up comedian Buddy Young, Jr. Now, thirty years later, Crystal has turned the film into a Broadway musical - and the 74-year-old finally gets to act his age. Correspondent Tracy Smith sits down with the still-youthful Crystal.

    In the audience for a preview performance last Wednesday. Billy is so hilarious, and the show is funny! Between the what seems like a never ending pandemic, and NYC having it's share of incidents lately, it felt so good to experience this, and laugh out loud.

    Was lucky enough to win the Mr. Saturday Night lottery for Sunday's July 10th show and also got front row seats. The show was amazing and funny and just the right length. The rest of the cast was also perfect for this thoroughly entertaining show. We're lucky to still have comedians like Billy Crystal performing and everyone that loves comedy should come out to see this show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars

    You have to ask: "What are the songs like? Will people be whistling them on their way home?" After all, it's a musical and if the tunes don't cut it then your musical has a short run. Good luck, Billy. I hope you've got that covered.

      @@davidj8658 Thanks for your sarcasm. It reminds me of the world we live in. Actually, my words are based on a few reviews (not favorable). I didn't actually want to say that the songs were lame. Others have already done that and are suggesting a major makeover while the show is still in previews. I'd like to see Billy with a winner.

      @rr7firefly 2 роки тому

      @@lewstone5430 Your advice is welcome. Show tunes are meant for a certain venue (in the theater) and only a few of them make it beyond that into the general public. I have never been to a Broadway show and I know it has its rah-rah supporters. As for Dylan... I have several of his CDs and I like to hear Patti Smith cover his songs.
