There will be one 20 minute intermission Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International The Pajama Game from the director I have loved Pajama Game for years- in fact, ever since seeing it on Broadway as a child when it won a batch of Tony awards. A story of romantic wrangling in the middle of labour strife accompanied by some of the catchiest songs I had ever heard, it became one of my favourite shows of all time. I got interested in directing it several years ago after seeing clips from a Broadway revival when it was winning yet another Tony. Obviously, the show wasn t out-dated and the music was still great. One problem however was all that dancing- not one of my strengths. Luckily, I was able to convince Moira to step in as choreographer and thanks to her and all the other cast and crew we have a show to be proud of. Wishing you a Once a Year Day. Steve Forrester
