SYNOPSIS:   Sid, the handsome new manager of a pajama factory runs afoul of the feisty and headstrong Babe, leader of the Union Grievance Committee. Their dispute is complicated by a budding romance, which parallels the ups and downs of the labor/ management negotiations while turning the workplace into a the ideal musical comedy background. This is an evening of non-stop familiar Broadway pop standards of the '50's including "Steam Heat", "Hey There" and "Hernando's Hideaway" filled with dance number after dance number
