And another show is over and done with. Today was the last performance of "The Pajama Game", the musical that seemed overly nauseating at first, then became a highly entertaining (yet still ridiculously cheesy) theatrical production. As is our wont, the cast and crew pulled quite a number of pranks today, ranging from a small disco ball in the elevator to an entire line of girls spanking Sid's rear end as he walked down the line at the end of "I'm Not at All in Love". The "Steam Heat" dancers were planning to go all-out Fosse-style and wear leotards and fishnets instead of their tuxedos, but they called the plan off at the last minute, deciding it was over the top. The most amusing-yet-subtle hack came at the finale/curtain call, when Prez and I switched pajamas. I hope I can get doubles from the people who took pictures of us afterwards. Absolute hilarity. "Comfort" became a girl in an incredibly comforable pair of thick flannel pajamas, and "style" became a man in purple silk. Nothing says "style" like a man in purple silk. Don't you know it.

Anyway, I decided to wear my wig to the cast party afterwards. After all, I wouldn't get a chance to wash my hair, and my hair is always nasty after it's been under a wig for about 4 1/2 hours. Before, though, I had to take Mimi home. She made me come inside and show her parents my hair. For a while, Mr. Pasahow thought that it was my real hair. This was disturbing. He started complimenting me on my haircut, telling me how much he loved it, and how it was better than my old haircut. He felt incredibly embarassed when he saw that it wasn't real. Hilarity ensued. Anyway, I arrived late at the cast party. When I arrived, everyone was watching the video of the production, recorded on Thursday. I was a bit irritated at my performance, as I was much more histrionic in later performances. Compared to Saturday and Sunday's shows, the Thursday production seemed dead. Bah. Still fun, though. Some people at the party asked who had written the "Pajama Game Plot" thing. More compliments were dished out. About half the cast wants a copy. ::inflates ego with a bike pump:: Much amusement.

For those curious as to how my wig looks, here's one of my mom's photos. My "Pajama Game Plot" describes this scene as "Union President, Random Employee, and Girl's Faithful Sidekicks meet at Girl's House." Left to right, me (Mae), Olivia (Babe), Kingsley (Prez), Tiffany (Brenda), and Adam (Joe).
