Yesterday Tom and I went to see "The Pajama Game" musical at Arena Stage in Washington, DC and it was so much fun! I didn't know anything about the show, and Tom surprised me with the tickets. All of the performers were AMAZING. The Music was fun, the voices perfect, the dancing and acting were incredible. I could certainly see it again! AMAZING ACTORS (AND 2 WHO RESEMBLED FRIENDS) Britney Coleman and Tim Rogan were amazing leads in the show (and Tim has an amazing bod). Some of the other performers resembled friends of ours so we were drawn to them: Tony Neidenbach resembled our friend Ed (who passed in 1996) and Nancy Anderson resembled our friend Sarah (who passed in 2011), so we felt like both of them were with us during the performance. What a great feeling. Of course, I watched Tony and Nancy a bit more than some of the other dancers and singers because they looked familiar, and they were both incredible, too, as were the entire cast.
ABOUT THE SHOW: The Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory is a tiptop model of efficiency — so why are things getting so steamy? It could have something to do with how hard new superintendent Sid Sorokin has fallen for Babe Williams, the trouble-making head of the union grievance committee. Sparks really start to fly when a workers’ strike pits management against labor and ignites an outrageous battle of the sexes. Packed with seductive dance numbers like “Steam Heat” and “Hernando’s Hideaway,” the best way to ensure a good night’s rest during the hectic holiday season is to play The Pajama Game
