Billy Crystal is facing mega backlash after sharing details about a Broadway show about losing his residence in the LA wildfires.
Critics slammed the decision and accused the millionaire of trying to mint more money on this tragedy and questioned if audiences were willing or interested to hear a rich man's perspective or reflect on personal loss.
Crystal's one-man show, 860, is all set to open up in October this year, and it takes its name from the same address of the Pacific Palisades residence, which he shared with his partner Janice for 46 years before it was destroyed in the wildfires last year.
This production would see the veteran performer worth at least $50 million to recount more tales from his life and career, framed through memories linked to the home he lost in this tragedy.
Another source familiar with this matter mentioned more about how there is a growing sense of discomfort linked to this. People are stating that it risks appearing like Billy's monetizing a very painful incident that impacted thousands of families, not only him.
