Real Choreography for a Fictional Boy Band

by Liam Eagle

Song: Phone Tag
Artist: POP!Shots
Choreographer: Liam Eagle

INTRO

Blackout onstage. The sound of a phone ringing once, twice, three times. A door flies open at the back of the stage, and light pours through as CHANCE runs to the telephone mounted center-stage. He answers it. "Hello? Hello?" But he's too late. Lights come up onstage. He hangs up. GRANT, MARCO, SPIDER and B.J.

DISTORTED PHONE VOICE:
"Call you but you're not home..." (Bwah! Bwah!)
frozen pose
"Try me on my cell phone..." (Bwah! Bwah!)
new frozen pose
"Call back from a pay phone..." (Bwah! Bwah!)
new frozen pose
"Press one on your touch tone..." (Bwah! Bwah!)

VERSE

(CHANCE singing)
"hi, it's me..."
synchronized mimed dialing
Synchronized phone chatting (thumb and pinkie)
punch punch; grab wrist; swivel hips; funky legs move (repeat)

(CHANCE singing)
"oh girl, this crazy game of phone tag.."
synchronized "crazy" gesture
synchronized mimed dj scratching
shuffle step; funky neck move (repeat)

CHORUS

(ALL singing)
"Phone tag!"
hop hop; punch punch
knee slide; hop to feet

"...leave a message and I'll call you right back!"
synchronized kick; walk toward back of stage

BRIDGE

(SPIDER singing)
"if only I could get through to you, girl..."
simultaneous but individual hands on chests, reaching toward sky

TOUCH TONE DIALING SOLO

CHANCE boards cell phone spaceship; soars over crowd
GRANT, MARCO, SPIDER, B.J. give high fives to audience

FINALE

(ALL singing)
"Phone tag!"

Stage shakes, transition directly into Heartbreak/POPquake
