The Odd Couple premièred on Broadway in 1965. By now, entire generations haven’t even seen Felix and Oscar quibbling in TVland reruns of the ensuing sitcom. (Not to mention The New Odd Couple, starring Lamont Sanford and Detective Ron Harris, or The Oddball Couple cartoon about dog and cat roommates.)
When Neil Simon created The Female Odd Couple in 1985, it was a mild commercial success and a bonanza for community theaters, where it can be difficult to cast a non-musical with six male speaking parts. This summer’s your chance to enjoy both the ladies’ turn and the poker- and testosterone-drenched original on alternating weekends in the Actor’s Café space at Scottsdale’s Desert Stages Theatre.
Fridays, Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: June 8. Continues through Aug. 19, 2012
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
