The Pajama Game, by George Abbott and Richard Bissell with music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, is based on the novel 7 1/2 Cents by Richard Bissell.
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 intensifies when the workers strike for a 7½-cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but also a battle of the sexes.
Featuring dance numbers, comedy, and a large ensemble cast, The Pajama Game remains one of musical theatre’s most beloved classics. The Tony Award-winning musical includes iconic songs such as “Steam Heat” and “Hernando’s Hideaway,” along with the comedic “dream ballet.”
Originally awarded the 1955 Tony Award for Best Musical, The Pajama Game later earned the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, proving the story’s enduring appeal and timeless humor.
The Pajama Game is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) at https://www.mtishows.com/.
The EHPA program at Edmonds Heights K-12 serves a significant portion of the school community, offering theatre classes across all grade levels and producing multiple live performances each year. Students participate both on stage and behind the scenes, gaining experience in acting, technical theatre, and production leadership.
EHPA is self-supporting through ticket sales, fundraising, and sponsorships. Each year, the program produces a wide range of theatrical works involving hundreds of students.
