Summary
Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in the female version of Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic, The Odd Couple. Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The guys are replaced by the gals, and the Pidgeon sisters are replaced by the Costazuela brothers, but the hilarity remains the same.
History
The female version of The Odd Couple premiered on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre on 11 June 1985. Directed by Gene Saks, the production starred Rita Moreno and Sally Struthers, and featured Marilyn Cooper, Kathleen Doyle, Jenny O'Hara, Tony Shalhoub, Lewis J. Stadlen and Mary Louise Wilson.
