About the Show
Directed by Barbara Williams
The Pajama Game was awarded the 1955 Tony for Best Musical and, over half of a century later, claimed the award for Best Revival of a Musical, proving that the story is truly timeless. A union strike at a pajama factory generates plenty of steam heat in this toe-tapping, comedic love story.
Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as sparks fly between new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 ½ cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well.
Featuring plenty of fun and splashy production numbers, including a comic “dream ballet,” The Pajama Game is a surefire crowd-pleaser and a glowing example of solid, classic musical comedy.
