Findlay to Host Auditions for ‘The Pajama Game’
Monday, November 02, 2009

Auditions for the classical musical comedy “The Pajama Game” will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 18-19, at The University of Findlay in the Egner Center for the Performing Arts, Room 004.            

Auditions are open to all University students, faculty and staff, as well as Findlay-area community members. The cast consists of approximately 30 adults (age 16 and older), with 15 named parts for women and 10 named parts for men.            

Those who audition should be prepared to sing a 16-bar cut from a Broadway show and be dressed to move. An accompanist will be provided.

“The Pajama Game” opened on Broadway in 1954 and had a major Broadway revival in 2006 featuring Harry Connick, Jr. Music and lyrics are by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The book was written by George Abbott and Richard Bissell and is based on the novel “7½ Cents.” Original choreography is by Bob Fosse.

The production features hit songs such as “Hernando’s Hideaway,” “Steam Heat,” “Hey There,” and “There Once Was a Man.” Contact Micheal F. Anders, Ph.D., with questions at 419-434-4717 or anders@findlay.edu.
