Nobody ever told Jesse Tyler Ferguson that playing 40 characters in Becky Mode's one-man comedy FULLY COMMITTED would be easy, but perhaps someone should have advised him against prepping for his latest Broadway assignment while shooting scenes for his hit ABC television series, MODERN FAMILY.

In a fun series of videos, the five-time Emmy nominee's dedication to his stage work gets on the nerves of his TV colleagues Eric Stonestreet, Ty Burrell, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons and Sofia Vergara.

Fully Committed begins performances Saturday, April 2 and officially opens Monday, April 25, 2016 on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street). This is a strictly limited engagement through July 24, 2016.

You think you're having a bad day? Meet Sam. He works the red-hot reservation line at one of New York's trendiest restaurants, where the best food inspires the worst behavior. 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 in Becky Mode's hilarious and delicious comedy. 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 was originally produced at THE VINEYARD Theater in a production directed by Nicholas Martin. After opening to rave reviews and quickly selling out its initial engagement, the production transferred to the Cherry Lane Theatre, running for nearly 700 performances in New York. Fully Committed has been subsequently seen in productions around the world, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, London and Paris.

Fully Committed is based on characters created by playwright Becky Mode and Mark Setlock, from their experience working in the blistering world of the high-end restaurant industry.
