The Pajama Game features music by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross and originally opened on Broadway in 1954. It ran for over 1,000 performances and won a Tony Award for Best Musical. In 1957, the show was made into a film starring Doris Day and many cast members from the original Broadway show.
The story is a romantic comedy about the dangers of a workplace romance that takes place at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory. Employees at the factory are looking for a 7 ½ cent per hour raise, and they won’t take no for an answer. Babe Williams is the employee representative who goes up against shop superintendent Sid Sorokin, and the conflict between management and labor evolves into a battle of the sexes.
Central Catholic has a history of legendary musical productions spanning more than 80 years, and several generations of many families have performed in them and carried on the tradition.
