Synopsis: The Odd Couple Producers superstars Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick are together again Neil Simon's hilarious play. What do you get when you combine the writing of Neil Simon (Biloxi Blues, Lost in Yonkers), the direction of Joe Mantello (Wicked, Assassins, Take Me Out), and the star power of Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick? A guaranteed smash hit! Simon's play centers on a pair of desperately mismatched roommates--one sloppy and one neat--who are arguably the most memorable pair of characters that the successful playwright has ever written. It debuted on Broadway in 1965 and spawned an extremely successful 1968 movie and sitcom that ran for five seasons.
