By casting his friends in the The Pajama Game, Brisson fulfilled his debt to them and consequently instilled a vaudevillesque feel in his show, painted in a rainbow of musical styles.

 Theater News - Reviews: The Pajama Game -
If The Pajama Game were being considered today for adaptation into a musical from Richard Bissell's novel 7½ Cents, it might never happen.
What with the description of the seamstresses as "flibbertigibbets" and the leering down the fronts of dresses and the married men grousing to girls about how their wives don't understand them and the annual office picnic hijinks, the depiction of sex in the workplace might look and feel too much like harassment.
Quite the opposite: The Pajama Game runneth over with infectious ballads and comedy numbers--so much so that, shortly after the show opened, at least two of its songs ("Hey, There" and "Hernando's Hideaway") were vying to top the Hit Parade.

The principals in Pajamas Media don't expect a flood of advertising at first; however, the niche-market quality of most blogs will make audience targeting attractive to many advertisers who, when they use mainstream media, are paying for a good many readers/viewers/listeners who are not prospects for their products or services.

 Great Performances . That's Dancin': Fosse on Broadway . "The Pajama Game" | PBS
The story of "The Pajama Game," based on Richard Bissell's best-selling novel 71/2 CENTS, is built on a seemingly impossible romance between a factory foreman and the head of the Grievance Committee of the worker's union at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory.
The play about the battle over a 71/2 cent raise marked Fosse's debut as a Broadway choreographer, and one of its brightest moments was nearly snuffed out.
A song-and-dance number called "Steam Heat," which premiered many of Fosse's choreographic trademarks, was so hot that co-director George Abbott wanted to cut it.
