Tickets are $15 general, $13 seniors, $12 students; 550-8457, www.honoluluboxoffice.com.
"The Pajama Game": A 50-year-old musical that shows its age is given new life and energy with excellent leads and a chorus that keeps up the steam heat through three hours of nostalgia.

Tickets are $26 general; $22 seniors 65 and older, military and University of Hawai'i faculty/staff; $18 students and children. 235-7310, www.etickethawaii.com.
