The Odd Couple

A Mismatched Comedy

August 12 to August 30

By Neil Simon 

Buy Tickets

From North America’s beloved playwright Neil Simon comes the comic event of the season, starring the most memorable pair of mismatched roommates you’ll ever meet! 

When neat freak news writer Felix Ungar is thrown out by his soon-to-be ex-wife, he reluctantly finds refuge in the sloppy apartment of his long-time friend Oscar Madison, a scruffy sportswriter and recent divorcé. Can Oscar handle living with an uptight, neurotic perfectionist? Can Felix make himself comfortable in such slovenly surroundings? 

With its delightful combination of clever one-liners and outrageously funny characters, this award-winning comedy will have you howling with laughter from start to finish. 

Recommended for ages 12 and up. 

Running Time: 2 hours and 20 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission.

Absolutely hilarious. Exceptional portrayal of the characters straight from the movie. The actors were fantastic. Laughed from the moments the house lights went down to the end of the performance. Well worth going to see.

 Six performers gather around a dining table in a warmly lit apartment set. Several sit with playing cards and drinks while one performer in a police uniform leans toward another across the table, and a performer in a jacket stands behind the group observing the conversation.

 Five performers stand throughout a warmly lit living room and dining area during a tense moment. One stands beside the dining table at left, another in a red striped polo stands centre stage with his eyes closed, while three others watch from the doorway and raised entryway behind him.

 One performer relaxes on a sofa reading a newspaper while another approaches from behind carrying a plate of food, a towel draped over one arm, and utensils held out toward him. Bookshelves filled with framed photographs, trophies, books, and football memorabilia cover the wall behind them.

 A performer in a light grey suit sits in an armchair holding a handkerchief to his face as two performers in colourful floral dresses lean close on either side, resting reassuring hands on his shoulders. The warm apartment interior and a black telephone on a nearby side table frame the scene.

 Two performers share a comic moment in the living room. One, dressed in grey sweats and a baseball cap, perches on the arm of a chair with his mouth open and hands extended, while the other slumps in the chair wearing dress pants, a vest, and a loosened tie.
