The Pajama Game opened in London at the Coliseum on 13 October 1955 and ran for 588 performances - an undoubted hit. On Broadway it had opened in May the previous year where its run there was almost double that of London’s. Unlike many of the Broadway transfers of the period it did not import American stars but was cast with performers well known in Britain. Joy Nichols and Edmund Hockridge, Australian and Canadian respectively, led a company that also starred the great Max Wall in a rare outing to the musical stage, and Elizabeth Seal who three years later would find stardom playing the lead role in Irma La Douce.
Featuring a strong cast and many fine songs that have become standards - Hernando’s Hideaway, A New Town Is A Blue Town and the show-stopper Hey There, London embraced the show and the Queen Mother saw the show five times during its run. Both versions of Hey There, performed by Edmund Hockridge and the other by Joy Nichols are heard on this CD and Ted’s version lives on for it was recently featured in an episode of “The Street” starring Jim Broadbent on the BBC TV channel.
