According to HBO’s description, 700 Sundays is “about family and fate, loving and loss.”
 
“Billy Crystal has been a beloved member of the HBO family for more than three decades,” said Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. “It’s thrilling to us that he decided to let us film this legendary theatrical event.” 700 Sundays marks Crystal’s sixth HBO solo special following On Location, A Comics Line, Don’t Get Me Started, The Lost Minutes, and Midnight Train to Moscow).
 
“I am thrilled to be back home at HBO. I always felt this would be the last time I would perform 700 Sundays. Taping it so more people can see the play is very exciting. Most importantly, my grandchildren and others to come will get to know about our family and its unique history.”
