SINGING TELEGRAM PERFORMERS

Overview

DANCING CHICKEN GORILLA OR SHARK SINGING TELEGRAMS AND HELIUM BALLOONS
Each singing telegram is going to be different depending on what you are requesting and what information you provide (a poem, a quiz, etc). But to give you an idea of what a typical singing telegram involves: as soon as we spot the special person we start the first song to put them into that "what the heck is happening" phase. Then we teach them a simple 3 step dance move, based on the character we are, to put them into the "you have got to be kidding me" phase. We finish off by performing the dance with the honoree while we are singing our last song, putting them into the "thank the Lord it is almost over HAHA" phase.

Excellent Experience

As apart of an offsite business conference, we wanted to order a singing telegram to surprise one of our Director's as a way to celebrate him in a fun and unique manner. Michael came dressed in a shark costume and using a cane as a prop. His energy, commitment to character, and sense of humor made the moment so fun and absolutely hilarious! Everyone at our office is still talking about it.

Aside from his wonderful performance, Michael was excellent in coordinating how the moment would run - he was easy to communicate with, easy to collaborate with, and just an overall delight! I would highly recommend working with him and ordering one of the many characters he provides to show up to your event -- he will make any moment one to remember. Thanks Michael :)

Excellent

Michael, from Music Box Singing Telegrams was outstanding! He arrived early, was ready to go exactly on-time, and made this a truly wonderful (hysterical) moment. His costume was large Hairy Gorilla in Diapers!

Easy communication, I felt very confident in choosing him for our Birthday Surprise. Would book again in a heartbeat!

What to expect

A singing dancing yellow chicken??? Who would expect a Big bright yellow chicken or a furry gorilla wearing a tutu walking into the office or knocking on your front door to deliver a class act singing telegram on your birthday, promotion, or anniversary.

Each singing telegram is going to be different depending on what you are requesting and what information you provide (a poem, a quiz, etc). But to give you an idea of what a typical singing telegram involves: as soon as we spot the special person we start the first song to put them into that "what the heck is happening" phase. Then we teach them a simple 3 step dance move, based on the character we are, to put them into the "you have got to be kidding me" phase. We finish off by performing the dance with the honoree while we are singing our last song, putting them into the "thank the Lord it is almost over HAHA" phase.

This is not just any kind of singing telegram, its the kind that causes laughter, embarrassment, and applause! Our Singing Telegrams are a gift that becomes a
memory to last a lifetime.

About

​​The Music Box formally known as Michaels Music Box started with a $77 a week ad space on the back page of the Village Voice from a small Soho, New York City apartment in 1987.

During those humble beginning the most important thing that was learned is that the best gift ever, starts with people saying what is that? (shock value) A singing dancing yellow chicken??? Who would expect a
Grand Drag Queen or a Big bright yellow chicken or a furry gorilla wearing a tutu walking into the office or knocking on your front door to deliver a class act singing telegram on your birthday, promotion, or anniversary.
