The Pajama Game is a Broadway musical scored by Jerry Ross and Richard Adler, based on the novel 7½ Cents, by Richard Bissell.The plot: workers at the Sleep-Tite pajama factory are demanding a seven-and-a-half cent salary increase. Caught in the middle of this labor/management dispute are Katherine "Babe" Williams and Sid Sorokin, Star-Crossed Lovers stuck on opposite sides of the conflict. Can their relationship survive the negotiations?The original production ran from 1954-1956, winning three Tony Awardsnote Best Musical, Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Carol Haney), and Best Choreographer (Bob Fosse), and there have been two revivals since: one in 1973, and another in 2006 (which won another two Tony Awardsnote Best Revival of a Musical and Best Choreography and was nominated for an additional seven). A film adaptation, co-directed by George Abbott (who also directed the original play) and Stanley Donen, was released in 1957, starring all of the original Broadway cast except for Janis Paige (Babe), who was replaced by Doris Day. Both the film and original stage productions featured choreography by Bob Fosse.

Chekhov's Gun: In one of his first scenes, Hassler shouts at Gladys for leaving his (securely locked!) ledger alone for five seconds so she could use the bathroom. The ledger becomes very important in the second act.

Adaptational Heroism: In the film, Prez's sleazy song "Her Is" and nature as a serial sexual harasser in general are cut, and he doesn't treat Mae like an Abhorrent Admirer. However, he still gets unseemingly pleased when asked to take the drunk Gladys home.

Blatant Lies: Prez's song "Her Is" is full of these. He sings to Gladys that he wouldn't flirt with anyone else like this and that the compliments he's giving her aren't just pickup lines...and after she rejects him, he sings the exact same thing to Mae (except Mae is into it). The choreography for the reprise is also exactly the same.

comment
Adaptational Alternate Ending: In the book, Hasler was never embezzling; the raise had genuinely not been granted. They get the raise when Hasler's immediate superior comes back from vacation, sees Sleep Tite is about to lose a huge contract because the slowdown has impacted production so badly, and orders the raise implemented. Sid can tell Hasler will retaliate against him for siding with the workers, and quits, going back to Chicago with Babe.

I Take Offense to That Last One: In "I'll Never Be Jealous Again," the first two scenarios are that Gladys shows up with mussed shirt and stockings (smeared lipstick, in the film), and that Hines goes to visit her and is confronted with an open window and a pile of men's clothing. To both of these, Hines responds, "I would trust her." In the last scenario, he sees her hugging a sailor who she says is her cousin from overseas...

0% Approval Rating: With the possible exception of Vernon, no one likes Mr. Hassler, the factory manager. The factory workers resent him for being a belligerent company man who won't give them a 7 1/2 cent raise. His secretary Gladys doesn't like the way he takes out his Hair-Trigger Temper on her. New superintendent Sid Sorokin resents Hassler's refusal to compromise and end the strike.
