Crystal Is Long On Charm in '700 Sundays'
Early in his big-time funny, one-man play, '700 Sundays,' Billy Crystal shows home movies of himself as a child, tap-tap-tap-dancing away, like a tiny windup entertainment machine.
The kid is beaming, a most happy little fella, and you are instantly struck by how in his element Crystal seems, even then. Is there, you start to wonder, a gene for 'ready for my close-up'? Gosh darn it, was ever this guy to the one-liner born!
The pure joy of stand-up is evident in the vehicle, which Crystal brings to the National Theatre, having performed it to sold-out houses on Broadway for six months in late 2004 and early 2005. He clearly still wants us to feel the love, because he keeps taking the show on the road: The nine-day Washington engagement, which began Tuesday, launches a second multi-city tour. And once Crystal starts his comic tap routine, it's as if he never wants the music to stop.
