Watch out -- it's the 50s! The romantic dynamics, not to mention the workplace politics and the capitalistic shenanigans, might seem like artifacts from ancient history in the plucky musical, "The Pajama Game." The show jump-started careers left and right, from folks like Bob Fosse and Shirley MacLaine, to more theater insider famous people like Hal Prince. It also enchanted many a theater-goer with its central love story between too hard-chargers, Babe and Sid, whose professional conflicts threaten their budding relationship.
Luckily, Phil Crosby is back to help my parse it all. Plus he relates truly fascinating anecdotes from his first-hand experience working with John Raitt (Bonnie's father) and Mister George Abbott.
Hm, come to think of it, the capitalistic shenanigans seem pretty darn modern so that, in addition to a damn fine score, makes "The Pajama Game" worthy of a look and definitely makes this conversation worth a listen.
