Please Hold
Please Hold
Please Hold turns the universal experience of waiting on the phone into a theatrical journey. From the first ring and the operator’s calm instructions, "please hold" and "just one more minute," to the playful Jeopardy theme and repetitive classical music, the show captures the tension, boredom, and hope of being on hold. A growing drum groove signals change, building momentum until the call is finally connected, ending with a triumphant chord. Through humor, music, and timing, this show transforms everyday frustration into an exhilarating performance!
Music

Jeopardy Theme by Merv Griffin
Arranged by Tim Mitchell
The non-original music in this show was arranged with permission, ONLY after securing the rights to arrange and perform through Tresona Music. Any future ensemble that wishes to perform this show will have to obtain the same rights and permissions.
