Have you seen The Pajama Game?

So we love the musical "The Pajama Game".  We've watched the movie, which is streaming on Netflix, and I checked out the CD of the original Broadway version, which shares a lot of cast with the movie, but leaves out Doris Day, who is fine, but is not the singer that Janis Page is. 

I make my kids watch musicals with me, working to indoctrinate them as early as possible!

Molly asked her aunt Lindsay if she'd seen the film.  Roland chimed in "It's funny and has great songs", which is so true.  He continued: "It's an old movie, from the nineteens."  We all had to laugh at that phrasing from our millennial child, born in 2002, so he asked, "Is it from the eighteens?"  It's delightful to me that the 'nineteens' are so far removed from his experience, it can be used to encapsulate that whole period of history.

  2. I must confess, I have not seen it, but I will remedy that as soon as I'm able. Loved the "nineteens" bit!
