Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Backstage Babble

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Tony winner and Emmy nominee Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including how he booked his Broadway debut in ON THE TOWN during college, why it worked better at the Delacorte than on Broadway, starring in TAKE ME OUT just after the pandemic, the genesis of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, a real-life magical moment during THE TEMPEST, why FULLY COMMITTED appealed to him as a play to revive, how GRAND HORIZONS and LOG CABIN made a dream come true for him, finding movement in that show, coming to Hollywood as a stage actor, why he never had speaking roles growing up, doing Shakespeare in the Park and MODERN FAMILY simultaneously, being an out actor on Broadway and in Hollywood, the difficulty of his role in THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, his upcoming play about Truman Capote, and so much more. Don’t miss this candid and hilarious conversation with a star of stage and screen.
