Surprise Waiters for Six Hundred<\/h1>\n

Thank you, Alex!\u00a0 I\u2019ll take Surprise Waiters for 600\u2026<\/p>\n

It this even possible?\u00a0 Can three performers surprise and entertain six hundred unsuspecting guests effectively?\u00a0 Why yes.\u00a0 Of course, we can!\u00a0 And that\u2019s what our surprise waiters did recently in the awesome city of Indianapolis, Indiana for a great group of independent cable visionaries that were convening on the city for brainstorming and networking sessions.<\/p>\n

As we do, when a client decides to have The Amazing Waiters<\/strong> for their event, large or small, we begin gathering information about their party.\u00a0 Everything from time lines to possible themes and even special VIPs or guests that may be attendance.\u00a0 Once we have all necessary information, we begin tossing ideas back and forth with the client regarding how and where the special show will happen during the event.\u00a0 During this phase, we discovered something interesting-something that took us back to our roots\u2026when we entertained guests in Europe many moons ago…<\/p>\n

SOUP COURSE PRESENTATION<\/h1>\n

Our clients are awesome.\u00a0 We love it when they have crazy or unorthodox ideas about their event.\u00a0 We love it when they like to integrate our surprise shows within these fun ideas.\u00a0 And voila!\u00a0 This was one of those moments.\u00a0 Our client wanted to introduce the first course (the soup course) with a parade of waiters marching out, single file and serving the guests.\u00a0 Our client wanted to know if we, as waiters could perform our surprise show during this time.\u00a0 And of course, this course was PERFECT because, as mentioned earlier, we used to do this very thing as the original singing waiters act in Europe<\/a> and it was high time we dusted off one of our signature songs that would be singularly appropriate for this presentation.\u00a0 Be Our Guest<\/a><\/strong> from \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d.\u00a0 We would sing the song while the parade of service staff entered the room with the soup.\u00a0 PERFECT!<\/p>\n

Surprise Waiters can get your attention<\/h2>\n

It’s hard to get 600 people to stop talking\u2026especially when it\u2019s a lowly waiter at a microphone on a large stage\u2026<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s why our client hired us-we specialize in how to get people\u2019s attention.\u00a0 James, our general manager (and former singer with The Los Angeles Opera), who himself has performed over a thousand singing waiters shows, took 600 boisterous entrepreneurs on a musical journey, while the hotel wait staff seamlessly served the enthusiastic guests.\u00a0 The presentation ending with a thunderous standing ovation (OK, the end of the song DID include two guys doing the song\u2019s signature kick line).<\/p>\n

Just when you think you\u2019ve seen it all\u2026<\/p>\n

Our third waiter, a fabulous Soprano, surprises both men with the Broadway hit, \u201cDon\u2019t Rain On My Parade<\/a>\u201d from the musical Funny Girl<\/strong>, made famous by Barbara Streisand.\u00a0 Things got crazy from there.\u00a0 But, we won\u2019t divulge that information as what happens in Indianapolis STAYS in Indianapolis!\u00a0 Needless to say, our three amazing surprise waiters tirelessly worked the room and hopefully left no one feeling lonely (even in a room of 600 people)!<\/p>\n
