Fully Committed (2016, Jesse Tyler Ferguson)

Becky Mode’s hilarious, high-octane solo comedy 'Fully Committed' returned to Broadway in a triumphant, fast-paced 2016 revival that showcased a tour-de-force performance at the Lyceum Theatre. The real-time, frantic narrative unfolds entirely inside the damp, claustrophobic basement reservation office of Manhattan's premier, three-star molecular gastronomy restaurant, tracking Sam, an underemployed actor who single-handedly battles a multi-line telephone switchboard to juggle demands from erratic chefs, wealthy socialites, and celebrity handlers. Directed by Jason Moore, the production was a virtuoso showcase for Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played forty separate characters.
