Your Hines is absolutely great! But your hasler was absolutely terrible! I feel ashamed to be watching this having played Hasler. Hasler can be such a great character if you have the right direction and the right actor playing him.

[Gibbmcgugan]

@KevCantStop Bring some positiveity... your comment serves no purpose but to hurt the feelings of this young adult. Unless your OBC, shut up.

[Grifiki]

This is not Doris Day. Why is it You Tube cant read what is asked for. So they put on Crap instead."

[lolageproductions]

hmm, im sid in my schools version of this, and i have long hair kind of right (shoulder length) and my drama teacher wants me to cut it for the show :| but i dont want to. I was either gonna get a wig or somethin, (coz it took me more than a year to get it this length :| ) but slickin it back looks okay :-\

what do u guys think ?

[clumsy0ninja]

Cut it, not only for the show though. I personally hate long hair on guys. It was really in in 2005-ish, but then it all went back to the classic short hair cuts. This isn't my reasoning though... that was just a side thought. It's easier to keep clean, and it makes you look more put together. You don't have to get it REALLY short either. But a happy medium.

[lolageproductions]

:\ yeah i suppose

But I know for sure i'll have to get my hair cut short one day or another :(

and the only problem with my hair being in between is that its naturally curly and i straighten it, (not emo or that btw) ((no offense to any))

[lolageproductions]

and and it would just go into tiny little curls which i find unbelieveably embarrasing and I hate them so much :|

and i've only had my hair long since maybe october last year? and i was teased the life out of for having it curly :|

anyways, thanks for being my shrink XD just kidding, but thanks for the opinion

[rednut27]

Hmmm... it seemed a little too robotic. This song is about how their backs may break and their fingers ache! They aren't supposed to be chipper. They're angry.

In this there was no tension, no anger!

"Your fingers ache and your back make break but I'm smiling and skipping and dancing as I say this!"

NSG and B will smash this. :D

[MomoMizrahi]

Ahaha, your Hines sounds like OUR Hines

[Bub1029]

Also, the singing is pretty horrible. The kids are just too young for this show.

[Bub1029]

I think the big problem is the lack of mics in a cast that isn't used to projecting without yelling. Alot of the emotion and feeling is lost by the fact that these people are yelling to spread the information. It also seems like a junior show which is just awkward anyway.

[CaptainArcher1989]

Yah the sets to my schools were a Bitch to move though I loved the entire show and I WAS GOD OF THE KNIVES (I was in the knife thowing box lol)

[deamonhunter37]

The guy who plays Hasler is pretty bad. But Hines is really good!

[treebranchfilms]

thank you

[pmpknking]

I'm performing in The Pajama Game too at the Des Moines Playhouse.

It's funny how many shows are never based in "Iowa" the only other one I can think of is "The Music Man". As an Iowa myself I feel so isolated. To grow up here makes it difficult to become an actor. I'm on my way. lol.

[BeachGirlBlue]

Hey man my schools currently working on the pajama game and by the looks of it my school is the best at this. The chorus is better and so are the actors.( i so dont mean to brag) if anyone wants to come it will be march 6,7 and 8 at 7pm but the 8th will be at 2 and 7pm. At Boca Raton Community High School at the kathryn Lindgren Theatre. 12 dollars at the door.

[kairedmaster]

Ah, the Pajama Game. Our school just did this musical. I don't want to brag, but our chorus was so much better than this...DX

[RaspberryRainbowS]

Just curious...how big was the cast?

[lilcozmo91]

Dear Prez, The script says "LUNCH BUCKET" not "spectacles"

lol

[punklover99]

wow this brings back memories of last year i still remeber the songs but being on crew was a pain in the ass we had a larger set and it was a bitch to move it and seting it up and can anyone tell me what tempas fuget means and am i spelling that right

[coffeeatmidnight]

Tempus Fugit is the Latin translation of "time is fleeting" (or "hurry up").

[punklover99]

ok thanks

[pray4maddie28]

my middle school is doing this play in the spring can anyone tell me anything about it?

[IdinaGrl101]

My school is doing it to! I'll give ya the synopsis and all of the characters and such below.

[IdinaGrl101]

The conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful! As sparks fly between new superintendent Sid and Babe, the leader of the union grievance committee, their stormy relationship is made known just as the factory workers strike for a 7 1/2-cent pay increase. Not only does this set off a conflict between mangement and labor, but also between the men and women!

[IdinaGrl101]

Set in the mid- 1950s, the upbeat and brassy score is brimming with songs and dances, which ahve become popular and musical theatre standards such as "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway."

[IdinaGrl101]

Cast of characters:

Sid Sorokin: The new factory superintendent who falls in love with Babe

Catherine "Babe" Williams: the leader of the Union Grievance Committee, who falls in love with Sid

Vernon Hines: the factory timekeeper, who is always jealous of Gladys, his girl-friend

Gladsy Hotchkiss: quick-witted secretary of Mr. Hasler

[IdinaGrl101]

Myron Hasler: the strict head of the pajama factory, who has ties to the Chicago Mob

Prez: the head of the union

Mabel: the "mother hen" of the factory and Sid's secretary

Mae: a member of the Grievance Committee, who likes Prez

"Pop" Williams: Babe's father

Brenda, Charley, Joe, "Poopsie," and Virginia: Factory workers

Ensemble Characters: Factory workers, Mechanics, Business Men, Secretaries, Club Waitresses
