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 Sid Sorokin and Katherine "Babe" Williams, [[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 Awards<ref>Best Musical, Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Carol Haney), and Best Choreographer (Bob Fosse)</ref> and there have been two revivals since: one in 1973, and another in 2006 (which won another two Tony Awards<ref>Best Revival of a Musical and Best Choreography</ref> and was nominated for an additional seven). A film adaptation was released in 1957, starring all of the original Broadway cast except for Janis Paige (Babe), who was replaced by Doris Day. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''The Pajama Game'' contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Clock King]]: Hines takes pride in his obsession with the clock, even singing a musical number called "Think of the Time I Save" about the corners he cuts for the sake of efficiency. * [[Dream Ballet]]: Hines's "Jealousy Ballet", in which he imagines what life would be like married to Gladys. * [[Fashion Show]]: At the end. * [[Fat Girl]]: Mabel.
