Synopsis

Romance is blossoming at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Handsome new Superintendent Sid Sorokin falls hard for feisty Union rep 鈥淏abe鈥� Williams, and, despite her dismissal of all things love-related, it seems she鈥檚 falling right back. That is, until Sleep-Tite employees are refused a seven-and-a-half cent raise, and the pair find themselves on either side of the union protest that results. Based on Richard Bissel鈥檚 novel, 7 陆 cents, Adler and Ross鈥� Pajama Game portrays the ups and downs of romance, with the added heat of politics making the temperature extra hot. Babe and Sid must figure out how to love when the principles they value most are tearing them apart. First staged in 1954, The Pajama Game won three Tony awards, including best musical, and won another Tony for Best Revival in 2006, a testament to the fact that love, music, and politics are as hot as they ever were. The Pajama Game features hit songs including 鈥淗ey There,鈥� 鈥淗ernando鈥檚 Hideaway鈥� and 鈥淪team Heat鈥� which have also become pop standards that climbed as high as number one in the US charts.
