Is the dictaphone still in the show? (Pajama Game question)

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:41pm

I haven't seen the current revival of Pajama Game yet and I don't know if I plan to. But I have one question: Does the dictaphone that Sid records "Hey There" into and then plays back to have a duet with himself remain in the show?

Yes...Harry harmonzes with his own voice played back from the dictaphone. It is excellent.

Ah, yes, the Magic Dictaphone. First of all, it changes lyrics. Sid 'records' the lyric "Are you too much in love to hear?" and Magic Dictaphone plays back "Are you just too far gone to hear?” Second, Sid records melody and Magic Dictaphone plays back harmony.

I'd look for Magic Dictaphone infomercials in the near future.

Maybe he sang that lyric by accident.

I'm also pretty sure human Harry sings the harmony the second time around with the dictaphone repeating the melody.
