''The Pajama Game'' is a musical based on the novel ''7½ Cents'' by Richard Bissell. The book is by George Abbott and Richard Bissell; the music and lyrics are by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The story deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where workers demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent. The original Broadway production opened on May 13, 1954, at the St. James Theatre, and ran for 1,063 performances, with a brief stop at the Shubert Theatre at the end of the run. It was revived in 1973, and again in 2006 by The Roundabout Theatre Company. The original production won a Tony Award for Best Musical, and the 2006 Broadway revival won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. The musical is a popular choice for community and school group productions. The original West End production opened at the London Coliseum on October 13, 1955 where it ran for 588 performances. ==Characters== *Sid Sorokin, the handsome new factory superintendent who falls in love with Babe, despite their being on opposite sides of the labor dispute central to the plot. *Katherine "Babe" Williams, the leader of the Union Grievance Committee, who in turn falls in love with Sid. *Myron "Old Man" Hasler, the strict head of the pajama factory who keeps a secret. *Gladys Hotchkiss, Hasler's attractive, quick-witted secretary, who dates Hines and is chased by Prez. *Vernon Hines, the factory timekeeper, who thinks Gladys flirts too much and, as a result is always jealous. *Prez, the head of the union and a skirt chaser, despite being a married man. *Mabel, the mother hen of the factory and Sid's secretary. *Mae, a loud-mouthed member of the Grievance Committee, who accepts Prez's advances, much to his surprise. *Pop, Babe's kind and agreeable father. *Max, A salesman. *Charley, a worker in the factory and the handyman. *Joe, a factory worker and Prez's right-hand man. *Brenda, A member of the Grievance Committee. *Virginia, a factory girl and union activist. *Poopsie, a factory girl and union activist. *Gus, an unhappy factory helper who Sid shoves. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Pajama Game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
