Television, Film and Broadway actor, Billy Crystal talked to NY Post's Michael Reidel about his upcoming return to Broadway in his one-man show, 700 SUNDAYS. But Billy got his start here at La MaMa in 1970 in double-bill of Ubu Roi and Arden of Faversham, directed by Andrei Serban.
“I played a toy soldier with a tall red hat and rouge circles on my cheeks. Andrei put me in a garbage can. I was a broken toy. And as I was sitting in that garbage can, the audience began to come in, and I saw Clive Barnes. And I thought, ‘Oh, no — this is not how we should meet.’ I always meant to call Clive and tell him about that, but I’m not sure he would have remembered me as the broken toy soldier in the garbage can.”
