The Pajama Game features a book by the legendary George Abbott & Richard Bissell based on Mr. Bissell’s novel, 7 ½ Cents, and music and lyrics by Richard Adler & Jerry Ross. The book has been adapted for this production by Peter Ackerman. The musical features the classic songs "Hey There," "Steam Heat" and "Hernando’s Hideaway." It is set in the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory during a strenuous labor negotiation. At the musical’s center is the simmering attraction between a handsome new manager and a lovely union representative. But their budding romance is threatened by the impending strike.

And a little novelty number called "There Once Was a Man" becomes a rockabilly pelvis pumper that turns the thermostat way up on a show that has already been generating plenty of steam heat.
