"Hey There, You With The Stars In Your Eyes......."

Did I grab your attention? Good. Happy Friday and first full day of spring! (Even though it may not feel like it here.)

So my sister is hosting a sleepover so in acknowledgement of that, I tried to find a musical relating to a sleepover—alas, I could not find such a thing. Instead, I found the Tony Award-winning show for Best Musical and Best Revival written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, also known as The Pajama Game.

I need to study more about it but it's about labor troubles at a pajama-production factory where workers demand a seven-and-a-half cent raise. Meanwhile, romance blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent (also the leads) but this factory conflict could potential destroy their relationship for good. The show has an overall "How to Suceed in Business Without Really Trying" feeling to it, and it's beginning to grow on me!

One song I like is "Hey There," sung by Sid (and Sid's recording in a dictaphone) where he's deciding what to do about his love for Babe. (This happens somewhat early in Act 1). I really like how he's singing and harmonizing with his recording in the song, which was on tempo with the music—it essentially blew my mind!

In this performance, the second Broadway revival in 2006, Sid is played by Harry Connick Jr. (Independence Day, Hope Floats, P.S. I Love You, or my favorite show Law and Order: SVU) and he sounds great here! I highly encourage you all to find him on social media!
