If the musical is anything

If the musical is anything like the film I could not recommend The Pajama Game. The music is pedestrian, the lyrics are lame, the characters are one-dimensional, the storyline is dull and 'off the rack', and there is little drama to impel the film along. Doris Day just went through the motions- she must have agreed to participate due to financial difficulties. Perhaps the musical is different, but the film was enough to dissuade me from auditioning for a role in this production. There's no way could I 'sell' such a damp squib to potential theatre-goers. Piranhas In Pajamas, now that's something I'd be interested in. At least Lil' Abner's got hillbillies.
