...much better than Kathleen Marshall, the choreographer and director who has proved to be without peer in taking faded old musicals (Wonderful Town, Pajama Game) and giving them a fresh modern shine. Here she keeps everything sprightly and speedy without overwhelming her young stars. The dance numbers go for group precision over virtuoso acrobatics. Derek McLane's sets are bright and witty, from the stacks of school lockers or cars at a drive-in movie, to the neon ice cream cone that opens to reveal the hunky Teen Angel in the terrific "Beauty School Dropout" number. Marshall has beefed...
...throngs of striving entrepreneurs, the city is defined by its intimate sense of neighborhood, what Girard calls its "lived-in-ness." Walk Shanghai's alleyways at night and inhale the smell of braised pork wafting out of a communal kitchen, hear the slap of a shuttlecock struck by a pajama-clad girl, catch a glimpse of a chandelier in a threadbare bedroom-once part of a ballroom in some silk merchant's mansion, now subdivided to house a dozen families. Yet I know this Shanghai-my Shanghai, Girard's Shanghai-is vanishing. All that will be left are these phantom...

Stupefied, one of the friends climbs into the girl's bed and has to be pulled from the room...

Among Loesser's proteges: Jerry Ross and Richard Adler, who did The Pajama Game and Damn Yankees, Meredith Willson of Music Man fame and Hello, Dolly!s Jerry Herman...
...09er deliberately exposed himself to everyone’s favorite sex blogger. Impossible is nothing, literally. Phoho’s pre-Harvard-Yale Aleksey Vayner theme party featured a DJ, refreshments, and a grand total of zero guests. There was even more of nothing at the Pajama Party held at 45 Mount Auburn that Saturday night. Boston-based sororities and frats convened in the anarchy center dressed in little more than teddies and stilettos. The raucous gathering was shut down after a mere 45 minutes. Some Harvard University Band members get mad props for physically duking it out with Yalies...
