Bon Appetit! Jesse Tyler Ferguson Starts Performances in Broadway's Fully Committed

The main course has arrived at the Lyceum Theatre! Modern Family and Broadway fave Jesse Tyler Ferguson will portray more than an already-whopping 40 characters in the uproarious one-man comedy Fully Committed, which serves up previews on April 1 (seriously). Penned by Becky Mode and directed by Tony nominee Jason Moore, the limited engagement is scheduled to officially open on April 25 and run through July 24.

Mode's play stars Sam, who works the red‐hot reservation line at one of New York’s finest restaurants. The best cuisine seems to inspire the worst behavior in its patrons; coercion, petty threats, bribes, histrionics—a cast of desperate callers, all brought to life by Ferguson, will stop at nothing to land a prime reservation, or the right table. Amid the barrage, Sam has his own problems to deal with. While juggling scheming socialites, name‐dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can he still manage to look out for himself? Theater fans will have to dig in to find out!

Fully Committed originally played off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theater in 1999 followed by the Cherry Lane Theatre. The show has been subsequently seen in productions around the world, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, London and Paris. This incarnation of the play is updated to reflect today's high-brow (and resultantly high-maintenance) foodie culture that always seems to pair perfectly with the trendiest dining destination.
