Pajama Game 1954 Original Broadway Cast Rec. |
Based on the novel 7 1/2 cents by Richard Bissell
Pajama Game is set in the 1950s in a pajama factory. The new manager finds himself falling for the union leader, but at the same time finds himself at odds with her as they are in the middle of a labour dispute over a 7 1/2 cent raise.
While the music in this show is very catchy and had several successes on the pop charts, it is also quite simple and easy to learn. The vocal ranges are limited, however the roles of Babe and Sid do require melodic voices. The real difficulty in staging this show is the amount of dance numbers.
