From then on they worked closely together and both took credit for their music and lyrics. The team began their career with the revue John Murray Anderson's Almanac, for which they contributed most of the songs. Their second show, The Pajama Game, opened in May 1954 and was a popular and critical success, winning several Tony Awards. Opening a year later, Damn Yankees repeated the success of The Pajama Game. Both shows ran on Broadway for more than 1,000 performances. The two saw more than a half-dozen of their songs reach the US Top Ten, two of them peaking at number one.
