Details

Love blossoms in a pajama factor. Written in 1954. When Sid Sorokin is appointed superintendent at the Sleep Tite Pajama Factory, all he wants is to settle in and keep his job. Things become complicated, however; when he falls for Babe Williams - the leader of the Workers' Grievance Committee. Set in the 1950's middle America, this show is full of colourful characters including a jealous ex knife thrower and a sleazy corrupt boss, as well as such well known songs as 'Steam Heat' 'Hernando's Hideaway', 'I'm Not At All In Love' and 'This is My Once a Year Day'.
