THE PAJAMA GAME Book by George Abbott & Richard Bissell Music and Lyrics by Richard Adler & Jerry Ross Based on the novel "7 1/2 Cents" by Richard Bissell Bilingual adaptation and translation by Mark Valdez & Raúl Ramos Music arranged and adapted by David Burk Directed by Mark Valdez

MARCH 9–24, 2007

A classic, 1950s musical updated as a labor/management struggle for the modern day, The Pajama Game follows the strife between employees and owners of the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory in Iowa.  When workers demand a raise, Sid, the handsome new Latino manager of the factory, meets his match in feisty union-leader, Babe Williams.  With the classic songs "Hernando's Hideaway", "Steam Heat", and "Hey There", this 90-minute extravaganza features high-octane Latin styles including salsa, merengue, tango, and cumbia.  Performed partially in Spanish, supertitles projected on either side of the stage will allow English-speaking audience members to understand the dialogue in its entirety.  Don't miss this 2006 Tony-Award winner!

Featuring Pedro Bayon, Hope Cervantes, J.C. Cutler, William Gilness, Rita Medina, Jorge Maldonado, Molly Sue McDonald, Nora Montañez, Tinia Moulder, Simone Perrin, Raúl Ramos, James Rodriguez, Tiffany Solano, and Eric "Pogi" Sumangil.
