==
'''Act I'''
Vernon Hines, the [[Business efficiency expert|efficiency expert]] at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory in [[Cedar Rapids, Iowa|Cedar Rapids]], [[Iowa]], breaks the fourth wall to introduce the story ("The Pajama Game Opening"). Inside the factory, workers churn out pajamas at a backbreaking pace ("Racing with the Clock"). In the middle of this, Sid Sorokin has come from out of town to work in the factory as the new superintendent ("A New Town Is a Blue Town"). The [[labor union|union]], led by Prez, is seeking a wage raise of seven-and-a-half cents an hour, though the company president, Myron Hasler, refuses to give way. Katherine "Babe" Williams is the leader of the Union Grievance Committee. Sid and Babe are in opposite camps, yet romantic interest is sparked at their first encounter. Despite cajoling from her fellow garment workers, Babe appears to reject Sid ("I'm Not At All in Love"). Meanwhile, Hines is in love with Gladys Hotchkiss, the company president's [[secretary]], but is pushing her away with his jealous behavior. After witnessing a fight between the couple, Sid's secretary, Mabel, tries to help Hines break from his jealous ways ("I'll Never Be Jealous Again"). Meanwhile, Sid, rejected again by Babe, is forced to confide his feelings to a [[dictaphone]] ("Hey There").
During the annual company picnic, kicked off with the official ''Sleep-Tite'' Company Anthem ("Sleep-Tite"), Hines demonstrates his knife throwing act while intoxicated, almost striking Babe while attempting to knock an apple off her head. Prez chases after Gladys, who rejects his advances ("Her Is"). Babe warms up to Sid, and they turn the entire picnic into a celebratory dance ("Once a Year Day"). As the picnic-goers head home, Prez turns his attentions to Mae, who responds in the positive far more quickly and aggressively than he'd expected ("Her Is (Reprise)"). At Babe's home, Sid's romantic overtures are deflected by Babe, who makes casual conversation on tangential subjects ("Small Talk"). Eventually the walls come down between the two, who admit their love for one another ("There Once Was a Man"), but their estrangement is reinforced when they return to the factory. A slow-down is staged by the union, strongly supported by Babe ("Racing with the Clock (Reprise)"). Sid, as factory superintendent, demands an "honest day's work" and threatens to fire slackers. Babe, however, is still determined to fight for their cause, and intentionally jams the factory line, causing a breakdown, and Sid reluctantly fires her. As she leaves, he begins to wonder again whether a romance with her is a mistake ("Hey There (Reprise)").
'''Act II'''
At the Union meeting, after a rallying speech by Prez, Gladys (Mae in the 2006 revival) performs for the rest of the union, with "the boys from the cutting room floor" ("Steam Heat"). After the main meeting, the Grievance Committee meets at Babe's house, to discuss further tactics, such as mismatching sizes of pajamas and sewing the fly-buttons onto the bottoms such that they are likely to come off and leave their wearer pants-less. At the meeting, as Prez and Mae's relationship is waning, Sid arrives and tries to smooth things over with Babe. Despite her feelings for Sid, she pushes him away ("Hey There (Reprise)").
Back at the factory, the girls reassure Hines, who is personally offended by the slow down, that he is doing nothing wrong ("Think of the Time I Save"). Hasler has a meeting in his office with Max, one of the company's traveling salesmen, about an incident that occurred in [[Peoria, Illinois|Peoria]], [[Illinois]]. Hines is called in to try on pajama pants, which fall down in front of everybody just as Gladys walks in. Believing that he is fooling around, she angrily dismisses him. Sid, now convinced that Babe's championship of the union is justified, takes Gladys out for the evening to a [[night club]], Hernando's Hideaway ("Hernando's Hideaway"), where he wheedles the key to the company's books from her. Hines and Babe each discover the pair and assume they are becoming romantically involved. Babe storms out, and Hines believes his jealous imaginings have come true ("I'll Never Be Jealous Again Ballet").
Using Gladys' key, Sid accesses the firm's books and discovers that Hasler has already tacked on the extra seven and one-half cents to the production cost, but has kept all the extra profits for himself. Hines, still jealous out of his mind, has broken into Gladys' office, and flings knives past Sid and Gladys, narrowly missing an increasingly paranoid Mr. Hasler. After detaining Hines, Sid then brings about Hasler's consent to a pay raise and rushes to bring the news to the Union Rally, already in progress ("7½ Cents"). This news brings peace to the factory and to his love life, allowing him to reconnect with Babe ("There Once Was a Man (Reprise)"). Everyone goes out to celebrate at Hernando's Hideaway clothed in company brand pajamas ("The Pajama Game Finale").<ref>[http://www.guidetomusicaltheatre.com/shows_p/pajama_game.htm ''Pajama Game''] Guide to Musical Theatre</ref>

===Notes on the music===
Two of the songs, "There Once Was a Man" and "A New Town Is a Blue Town", were actually written by [[Frank Loesser]], although they were uncredited.<ref>[http://www.mkstage.com/pajamagame/raitt%20remembers.htm The Pajama Game – John Raitt Remembers] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130606010526/http://www.mkstage.com/pajamagame/raitt%20remembers.htm |date=2013-06-06 }}. Mkstage.com. Retrieved on 2013-09-05.</ref>
===
For the 2006 revival, [[Harry Connick Jr.]] played the piano, when Gladys ([[Megan Lawrence]]), Sid, and Company were on stage for "Hernando's Hideaway".<ref name=play1>[[Simonson, Robert]] and Jones, Kenneth. [http://www.playbill.com/news/article/hey-there-the-pajama-game-is-played-once-more-on-broadway-131003/print "Hey There: 'The Pajama Game' Is Played Once More on Broadway"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402135757/http://www.playbill.com/news/article/hey-there-the-pajama-game-is-played-once-more-on-broadway-131003/print |date=2015-04-02 }} playbill.com, February 26, 2006</ref>
"The length and form of the song remain steady", Kathleen Marshall said, "but he can improvise within it."
===="Steam Heat"====
In the original production, and in the film version, the famed dance number "Steam Heat" was danced by Gladys. In the 2006 revival, the number was made with Mae (Joyce Chittick), instead of Gladys.<ref name=play1/> Kathleen Marshall explains: "Hines accuses Gladys of being a flirt, and she's not. So does it make sense that she'd go and strut her stuff in front of the whole union? Hines would say, 'Aha, you floozy, I caught you!' Also, she's the boss's secretary, so why would she be at a union meeting? I think it's much more fun that Gladys doesn't really let go until she goes out with Sid, gets real drunk, and throws caution to the wind."
====New songs for the 2006 revival====
====="The Three of Us (Me, Myself and I)"=====
Words and music by Richard Adler; in 2006, Hines (Michael McKean) performed the new number, "The Three of Us" at show's end with Gladys (Megan Lawrence).<ref name=play1/> At the time of the revival, Adler was quoted as saying that he wrote the song for [[Jimmy Durante]] in 1964. "It was written for Jimmy Durante", says McKean, "and Durante used to do it in his act, but he never recorded it, so it's kind of an orphan." The song was actually featured in the 1966 television musical, ''Olympus 7-000'', part of the ''[[ABC Stage 67]]'' series which also produced [[Stephen Sondheim]]'s ''[[Evening Primrose (musical)|Evening Primrose]]''. Eddie Foy Jr. (who had played Hines in the original Broadway and movie versions of ''The Pajama Game'') introduced the song in ''Olympus 7-000'' and sings it on the [[Command Records]] [[soundtrack album]]. [[Donald O'Connor]], [[Larry Blyden]] and [[Phyllis Newman]] co-starred in the TV special with Foy.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}
====
"The World Around Us" was part of the 1954 Broadway previews and opening, but was dropped during the first week of the Broadway run, replaced by Babe's reprise of "Hey There". This would leave Sid with no songs in the second act, aside from the reprise of "There Once was a Man". The number was restored for the 2006 Broadway revival, allowing star Harry Connick Jr. to have a second-act song.<ref name=play1/>
====
Words and music by Richard Adler; for the 1973 revival, in place of the second-act "Hey There" reprise, there was a new song, "Watch Your Heart". Retitled "If You Win, You Lose", the song has been included in recent productions of the show and was in the 2006 Broadway production.

This production is also noted for jump-starting the career of [[Shirley MacLaine]]. An unknown 20-year-old at the time, she was selected to understudy Carol Haney's role.

Wallis]] was an audience member at one of MacLaine's performances, and signed her as a contract player for [[Paramount Pictures]].
