Auditions for The Pajama Game

The Pajama Game was awarded the 1955 Tony for Best Musical and, over half of a century later, claimed the award for Best Revival of a Musical, proving that the story is truly timeless. With an energetic score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (Damn Yankees), The Pajama Game is brimming with songs and dances that have become musical theatre standards, including “Steam Heat” and “Hernando’s Hideaway.”

Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as sparks fly between new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 ½ cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well. Featuring plenty of fun and splashy production numbers, including a comic “dream ballet,” The Pajama Game is filled with standout featured roles and a large ensemble. This perennial favorite is a surefire crowd-pleaser and a glowing example of solid, classic musical comedy.

The director of The Pajama Game is Hayley Katarina-Meyer. She studied English and Theater Education at George Mason University. She is an actress and has directed many shows with her own and other theater companies.

The music director of The Pajama Game is Jack Dusek. Jack has been a public school teacher, and a full time professional military musician for the United States Army. He has been a music director, orchestra conductor, music arranger and more for numerous productions in the Northern Virginia area and beyond.
