The Pajama Game: Ticket from £16.50 at The Shaftesbury Theatre (Up to 53% Off)

The Event

Following a sell-out run at the Chichester Festival Theatre, Broadway classic The Pajama Game comes to Shaftesbury Theatre for a limited time. First performed in 1954, the show follows the new Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory superintendent Sid Sorokin and union rep Babe Williams as they juggle their feelings for each other with the thorny issue of a disputed seven-and-a-half-cents-an-hour payrise for the shop floor workers. The original production went on to win three Tony Awards, and spawned a film and a number of US Top Ten hits. This summer director Richard Eyre and choreographer Stephen Mear are reviving the show for UK audiences, with Michael Xavier starring as Sorokin and Joanna Riding as Babe Williams.

Choose from the following options:

• £16.50 for a band-C grand circle ticket (50% off)

• £26.50 for a band-B stalls ticket (50% off)

• £31.50 for a band-A royal circle and stalls ticket (50% off)

##Reviews

The Telegraph

The Guardian

The Pajama Game’s Shaftesbury Theatre comeback has received a standing ovation to the tune of 5/5 from both The Telegraph and The Guardian. Both critics were eager to praise the contrasts generated by the exuberant tone of the play as performed against its politically charged backdrop, and also commended the standard of the songs and choreography.

“The score is terrific and I have rarely heard a pit band performing with such palpable exuberance in a West End musical. The sound they make, like so much of this enchanted evening, is like an adrenalin rush of pure pleasure.”

Charles Spencer, The Telegraph, 14 May 2014
