The Pajama Game is a musical based on the novel 7½
Cents by Richard
Bissell. It features a score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross.
The story deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where worker demands for a
seven-and-a-half cents raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this
ordeal,
love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the
new
factory superintendent.
The original Broadway production opened on May 13, 1954,
and ran for 1,063 performances. It was revived in 1973, and again in
2006 by The
Roundabout Theatre Company. The original production won a Tony for Best
Musical, and the 2006 Broadway
revival won a Tony Award for Best
Revival of a
Musical. The musical is a popular choice for community and school
group
productions.
