Pajama Tops closes Broadway season amid poor reception
New York reviews mark the season finale with Pajama Tops, a farcical misfire by Mandy Green and Ed Feilbert based on Mou mou. The Winter Garden production uses twofers to lure audiences, but many seats remain empty. Cast includes June Wilkinson and Richard Vath, with local names Cliff Halle and others in supporting roles. The piece contrasts Pajama Tops unfavorably with Mister Roberts at Westbury, praising Wyatt Earp star Hugh O Brian and Will Hutchins for strong stage presence.
