New Town Not a Blue Town

Dear John Lahr,

Please tell me you liked The Pajama Game, which is one of the first musicals I really loved (my sister and best friend and I danced and sang to the soundtrack LP for years before we saw the movie), and which I can't wait to see on the stage at last. It also probably had something to do with my continuing affinity for the best of what labor unions can be and do for us. (Ribald picnics, for one!) I'll be saddened if you hated it, but I'll be going anyway, just because I can't stay away.

You did? Hooray!

With admiration, as ever,

E.G.

Comments

You gotta love a musical about labor unions. I credit the Pajama Game for my lifelong interest in workers’ rights…and patterned PJs…
