Chichester Festival Theatre's production of Broadway smash hit musical The Pajama Game has been snapped up by a West End theatre.

Following in the footsteps of CFT productions such as Kiss Me Kate, South Downs, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui and Private Lives, The Pajama Game will transfer from the Sussex stage to London. 

Richard Eyre's take on the rom-com set in a pajama factory in 1950s America stars Joanna Riding and Michael Xavier.

The show transfers to the Shaftesbury Theatre to run from May 1 to September 13, 2014.
