The Pajama Game Synopsis
Pajama Game concerns the battle over a 7.5 cent raise between management and labor at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory. Amidst the conflict, a romance ensues between the new superintendent, Sid, and the leader of the Union Grievance Committee, Babe. Not surprisingly, their romance is all the more difficult given their opposing sides in the labor dispute. Eventually, management agrees to the raise, and peace reigns in the factory as well as in Sid and Babe's love life.

The Andover Musical and Operatic Society (AMOS) has closed the curtains on its latest successful show, The Pajama Game at The Lights. The show was the society’s 51st. It is based on the novel Seven and Half Cents by Richard Bissell and deals with labour troubles in a pyjama factory where workers’ demands for a seven and a half cent raise are going unheeded.
In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Catherine ‘Babe’ Williams (Tracey Fryer) and Sid Sorokin (James Quinn) the new factory superintendent. It was a worthy first lead performance from Tracey who performed with subtleness and forced alump into the throat when her character breaks down at the end of a song. James Quinn managed to pick up from where he left off in the previous show, Thoroughly Modern Millie, as the leading man,with great stage presence and vocal prowess. A virtual show-stealing performance was given by a first-timer for the society , Jeremy Jameson, in his portrayal of Vernon Hinse, the factory time-keeper. He never failed to make the audience smile.Praise must be given to all the actors who threw themselves into their roles.Once again AMOS has delivered music and choreography of the highest order.
