VIDEO: Jesse Tyler Ferguson Talks Return to Broadway in FULLY COMMITTED on 'Live'

On today's "LIVE with Kelly and Michael," actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson talked with the hosts about doing Shakespeare in the Park last summer; preparing for his return to Broadway in the one-man show FULLY COMMITTED ; and shares a very funny story about a long-ago regional production of "Annie Get Your Gun."

The new one-man show FULLY COMMITTED stars as Tony-nominated director Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect, Avenue Q, the upcoming Sisters starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler). For this new production, Mode is updating the play to reflect today's foodie and restaurant culture, which has only intensified since the piece made its debut. The mouthwatering comedy will play a strictly limited engagement in Spring 2016 on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre.

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 red0hot 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 inBecky 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 commissioned and developed by David Stone, and then 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.
