The Pajama Game

The Pajama Game is GCLT’s final offering for 2014 and what a great show to end the year. The production, in the capable hands of Stuart Lumsden, with musical direction under the baton of Mary Walters and choreography by Clay English.

The talented cast was a mix of seasoned performers and new recruits who worked well as a team. Featuring Louise Harris (Babe) and Chris Catherwood (Sid), the supporting principals included Leigh Harrison (Hines), Becky Morgan (Gladys), Lee Paterson (Mabel) and Noel Thompson as Hasler.

Bright costumes and an adaptable set gave the show a ‘happy’ feel which was reinforced by the slick comedic performances of Gladys and Hines. The chorus, though lean on experience certainly made up for it with enthusiasm.

The standout performance of the show was that of Nigel Tolsten: he had to be seen to be believed!

Despite The Pajama Game not being one of my favourite shows, I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation.

A fun night out at the theatre.
