Hold Everything! is a musical comedy with lyrics by Lew Brown and B. G. de Sylva, music by Ray Henderson, and has an accompanying book by John McGowan and B. G. de Sylva. A musical about professional boxing, the work's central character is welterweight Sonny Jim Brooks.[1] The musical takes place at "Pop" O'Keefe's Training Camp on Long Island; at the Hotel Wood; and at Madison Square Garden, New York.

Produced by Alex A. Aarons and Vinton Freedley, the Broadway production opened on 10 October 1928 at the Broadhurst Theatre for a total run of 409 performances. The cast included Jack Whiting as Sonny Jim Brooks, Bert Lahr as Brooks' sidekick, Gink Schiner; Ona Munson as Brooks' love interest, Sue Burke; Betty Compton as high society dame and villainess Norine Lloyd, Edmund Elton as "Pop" O'Keefe, and Victor Moore as "Nosey" Bartlett.[1]

Bert Lahr had a critical triumph with this production which made him a star.[1] The most famous song from the show is “You're the Cream in My Coffee”. In 1930, Warner Brothers produced a movie version Hold Everything filmed entirely in Technicolor. Survives in Black and White.
