If you’re wondering why the choreography and blocking are so perfect in “The Pajama Game” (1957) that’s because both the film and the musical were choreographed by dance legend Bob Fosse. It was the first musical to feature his work!

Playing our management pig is leading man John Raitt. He was mostly known for his work on Broadway and in TV & film Westerns. He’s also the father of. Music legend Bonnie Raitt. They’ve even performed duets together (https://youtu.be/Uhe4zEQ_JMs?si=w6T9ySjIu3ywv7CC)
