The Pajama Game first opened on Broadway on May 13, 1954 to rave reviews and ran for two standing-room only seasons. Richard Bissell and George Abbott wrote The Pajama Game book that was adapted from Bissell's 7 1/2 Cents, a novel based on his experiences working in his family's pajama factory in Dubuque, Iowa.
The Pajama Game creative staff included producers Harold Prince and Robert Griffith, choreographer Bob Fosse, and co-directors George Abbott and Jerome Robbins, all major forces in the American musical theatre.
The dynamic, robust musical score was Adler and Ross' first for a Broadway book musical. The team, who had written Tin Pan Alley songs and musical material for radio, film, night clubs, and revues, created a score distinguished by beautiful ballads, hilarious comedy songs and compelling rhythm songs sung by musical talent long after the ending of the show.
The Pajama Game is a true American classic that has remained popular with audiences with its memorable melodies, and light-heartedness.
