FULLY COMMITTED starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson at the Lyceum Theater

FULLY COMMITTED is frothy fun starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson in a 1 man show playing multiple  roles.  Sam (Ferguson, "Modern Family) is the main character, a lackey employee of a molecular gastronomy hoity toity working the restaurant reservation lines.   Sam also plays a slew of self-entitled hot heads who won't tolerate being put on hold or being put off from getting a prime table on short notice.  Ferguson is uproarius in his multiple impersonations that run the gamut from his pompous boss; the fashionable chef of the moment to the cast of characters who work at the restaurant, those working to get into the restaurant, family members, and his arch frenemie.  Sam is actually an aspiring actor still stuck in his shitty job while going on auditions.  Ultimately, he becomes fed up and decides to turn the tide at work to his advantage.  The range & rapidity with which Ferguson becomes someone else is electifrying.  His impersonation of Gwyneth Paltrow's asst & an insufferable bitch are hilarious.  He also captures with poignancy his recently widowed father whose passive aggressive nature stirs sympathy.  Ferguson had a few faux pas in the mix but charmed his way out by tossing "preview" in the meltdowns.  FULLY COMMITTED is a tasty soufflé; sweet but airy.  I enjoyed the show but don't feel it's fully worth the substantial price of a Broadway ticket.
