Northlight Theatre brings The Odd Couple, the Tony Award-winning comedy classic of famously mismatched roommates to the stage. Slovenly sportswriter Oscar Madison takes in his fastidious friend Felix Ungar when Felix’s wife throws him out, and all comic hell breaks loose. The two men nearly come to blows over the state of Oscar’s apartment, and a hilarious double date with the attractive Pigeon sisters comes to an unexpected and hilarious conclusion. Debuting on Broadway in 1965, Neil Simon’s now-iconic buddy comedy The Odd Couple ran for nearly one thousand performances and inspired a movie starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, a TV series starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, and countless revivals on stages around the world.
We’ve seen this comedy performed locally and it’s hysterical – very sharp dialogue.
