The Pajama Game at Foundry Theatre tickets
About The Pajama Game
Winner of the 1955 Tony Award for Best Musical—and more than 50 years later, the Tony Award for Best Revival—The Pajama Game is a timeless tale of love, labour, and laughter. With an fantastic score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross the musical features beloved theatre standards including Hey There, Steam Heat, and Hernando’s Hideaway.
Set in the early 1950s, the story takes place at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where tensions rise as workers campaign for a 7½ cent pay increase. Amid the unrest, sparks fly between the factory’s new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and Babe Williams, head of the union grievance committee—setting the stage for both a labour showdown and a romantic tug-of-war.
The original Australian production of The Pajama Game, was presented by J.C. Williamson and premiered at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne in 1957. The production starred Toni Lamond as Babe Williams and William Newman as Sid Sorokin, alongside Keith Petersen as Hines, Jill Perryman as Mabel, Don Richards as Prez, and Tikki Taylor as Gladys.
The Pajama Game will be directed and choreographed by Lisa Callingham, this spirited musical is packed with lively dance numbers and heartfelt performances.
Don’t miss this opportunity to rediscover The Pajama Game—a classic musical brought back to life in true Neglected Musicals style.
