"Becky Mode's Fully Committed is a hilariously frantic yet heartwarming depiction of life behind the scenes at an exclusive New York City restaurant. The one-person, one-act play provides a showcase for an extraordinary feat of acting, requiring a single performer to embody more than 40 distinct characters. With impeccable timing, energy, depth and versatility, Alison Campbell shines in the Phoenix Theatre Company production....One of the most impressive aspects of Mode's script is how the play balances humor with genuine emotion. The script has many laugh-out-loud moments but also presents a poignant reflection on the challenges of pursuing one's dreams in the face of relentless pressure, negativity and adversity....Each caller, with their unique quirks and demands, is brought to life with astonishing clarity by Campbell, who switches seamlessly between personas and sexes, capturing the essence of each character with mere shifts in voice, accent, posture, and facial expression. Campbell's tour-de-force performance is phenomenal." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"We all know how challenging it is to secure a reservation at a swank and very hot restaurant. That is the premise of “Fully Committed,” a delightful new comic bauble on display at The Phoenix Theatre Company. We are in a nameless but extremely popular New York City eatery but we aren’t in the pristine restaurant but in the basement. Sam, a struggling Broadway actor, is employed to take reservations for this highly popular food emporium. ...As directed swiftly and cleverly by Chelsea Anderson, the show never slows down as Sam gallops around the stage. ...“Fully Committed” is a comic delight" -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
