1 3 Pyjamas in Paradise John-Michael Howson , Peter Pinne , Ashley Irwin (composer), 2005 single work musical theatre 'Pyjamas in Paradise takes us back to a time when the fabulous history of Surfers Paradise was just beginning. Long before there was a Gold Coast and multi-storey skyscrapers the former sleepy hollow was on the cusp of being transformed into an international resort. A headline-making event was the famous Pyjama Parties in which "pre-schoolie" teens and 20s danced in their short pyjamas and Baby Dolls to the hit parade tunes of the times - the late 50s and early 60s. All around Australia teens longed to be part of the fun and frolics that outraged some and was a constant source of news photos and stories' (www.broadwayaustralia.com/pj.html ; sighted 19/06/2005).
