DIRECTOR ’S NOTES

A year ago this month, I asked Karl Miller, our Choreographer, what show he wanted to do next. He said “a big dance show, where the kids REALLY have to work, something with great music and huge ensemble numbers that involve everyone.” I asked him what show he had in mind, and, immediately, he said, “The Pajama Game.” Now, this show happens to be one of the favorites of both Kathy A (Costume Designer) and Jeanne C (wife of the Director), and so has been near the top of my list for years. The stars had aligned, and here we are. Funny how things work out....
