Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Original olaybill, profusely illustrated. In wonderful condition - appears almost new! cCover illustrstion by Peter Arno. The playbill for The Pajama Game at the St. James Theatre is a document of one of the most significant debut productions in the history of the American musical. The show opened at the St. James Theatre — located at 246 West 44th Street and owned by the Shubert Organization — on May 13, 1954, following tryouts in New Haven and Boston. The production was produced by Frederick Brisson, Robert E. Griffith, and Harold Prince, the last of whom was making his Broadway producing debut. The book was written by George Abbott and Richard Bissell, adapted from Bissell's 1953 novel Seven and a Half Cents. Music and lyrics were by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, also making their Broadway debut. The show was directed by George Abbott and Jerome Robbins, with choreography by Bob Fosse — likewise his choreographic debut on Broadway. Scenic and costume design were by Lemuel Ayers, with musical direction by Hal Hastings and orchestrations by Don Walker. The principal cast featured John Raitt as Sid Sorokin, Janis Paige as Babe Williams, Eddie Foy Jr. as Hines, and Carol Haney in a featured role that became one of the great scene-stealing performances of the decade. It was during Haney's absence due to illness that her understudy, Shirley MacLaine, was spotted by a film producer and launched into her screen career — a piece of Broadway legend that the production generated almost as an aside. The plot centres on a labour dispute at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory in Iowa, where the workers are pressing for a seven-and-a-half-cent pay rise. The romantic complications between Sid Sorokin, the new factory superintendent, and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee, provide the show's emotional spine, while Fosse's choreography — already bearing the angular, rhythmically precise quality that would define his later career — provided numbers including Steam Heat and Hernando's Hideaway that stopped the show nightly. The production ran for 1,063 performances, closing November 24, 1956, and won the Tony Award for Best Musical at the Eighth Annual Tony Awards in 1954. Arno, Peter (illustrator).…
