Becky Mode's Fully Committed, Starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Extends on Broadway

Fully Committed is cooking up a storm on Broadway! Becky Mode's one-man comedy, headlined by Modern Family and Broadway fave Jesse Tyler Ferguson as more than 40 characters, will extend at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre through July 31. Directed by Jason Moore, the production officially opened on April 25 and had been scheduled to 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?

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.
