The Pajama Game

Things are getting steamy at the Sleep-Tite Pajama factory, where handsome new superintendent Sid Sorokin is falling hard for Babe Williams, the feisty firebrand heading the union grievance committee. But sparks really fly when the workers go on strike for a 7½-cent pay raise, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor but a battle of the sexes. The show that defined Bob Fosse’s style with seductive dance numbers such as “Steam Heat” and “Hernando’s Hideaway,” this acclaimed musical won three Tony Awards, including Best Choreography and Best Musical. The swinging score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross includes the hits “Hey There” and “There Once Was a Man.”
