4.0 out of 5 stars Doris Day leads cast in lively film verson of Broadway hit, February 8, 2004

Your choice between the original Broadway cast and the movie soundtrack depends largely on your preference for either Janis Paige on the former and Doris Day on the latter.

Day sings it better, however the Broadway cast album has better sound as well as an overture and three songs, "A New Town is a Blue Town", "Her Is" and "Think of the Time I save" were dropped from the movie.

The soundtrack album, however, includes extended dance music from "I'll Never Be Jealous again" and "Once-a-year-day" and despite the boxy Warner Bros soundtage sound, the music is given a lively performance.

Finally, things are happening in terms of musicals! First we get the DVD version of The Pajama Game which is very fine indeed, and now the long-awaited CD soundtrack. Considering the recording was made in 1957, the sound of this CD is acceptable. At times the recording sounds a little harsh, but the music, songs, and singing are so good that one's ear easily adapts. Doris Day and John Raitt are in their prime and sing beautifully, but so does the rest of the supporting cast. If you love the movie you must own this soundtrack. I only hope "Calamity Jane" (another Doris Day musical) becomes available soon on DVD and CD.
