Synopsis Not much has to be
said: Oscar, Felix. Nathan, Matthew. Notes
The Odd Couple first
appeared on Broadway March 8, 1965, when it started what would wind
up to be a super run of 966 performances, split between the
Plymouth
and Eugene
O'Neill Theaters. Art Carney and Walter Matthau wowed audiences
and the critics alike. Mike Nichols direction solidified his
standing as a comedic helmsman and interpreter of Mr Simon's wit.
Messrs Simon, Nichols and Matthau walked away with
Tony
Awards for their efforts
The show had a revival in 1985 at the
Broadhurst
Theater, this time with a bit of a twist. Rita Moreno and Sally
Struthers headed the cast playing, respectively, Olive Madison and
Florence Unger. It was a bit of a hoot, though not that well
received Neil Simon will have three
revivals on the Broadway boards in a span of nine months. In
addition to The Odd Couple,
Sweet Charity
started previews in April 2005 and
Barefoot in the Park is due sometime January 2006 |
