Show Description: A union strike at a pajama factory generates plenty of steam heat in this toe-tapping, comedic love story.  
The Pajama Game was awarded the 1955 Tony for Best Musical and, over half of a century later, claimed the award for Best Revival of a Musical, proving that the story is truly timeless. With an energetic score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (Damn Yankees), The Pajama Game is brimming with songs and dances that have become musical theatre standards, including "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway."

Character Descriptions:

​

Sid Sorokin

(Legit Baritone) Handsome superintendent. New superintendent at Sleep Tite. He is a charming, productive worker. Adamant about retaining his job and improving his job performance. Must sing and act very well.

​

Babe Williams

Strong, feisty, a little stubborn, and full of pride for the union but also charming and sensitive. The unspoken leader of the workers and women who work at the factory. Broadway belt.
