The Pajama Game is a musical based on the novel 7-1/2 Cents by Richard Bissell.
It features a score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The original Broadway production ran from May 13, 1954 to November 24, 1956. It was revived fromDecember 9, 1973 to February 3, 1974.
This was the first of a short sequence of trial productions at The Questors Theatre which were artistically well received but not successful enough to become a regular feature in the BROS calendar.
