It started as a play and Broadway laughed. A movie and a TV series followed and the whole world laughed. Now, laugh all over again with this hilarious new Australian stage production of The Odd Couple.
Joining Shane Jacobson and Todd McKenney are stage and screen stars Lucy Durack and Penny McNamee add to the hilarity as Cecily Pigeon and Gwendolyn Pigeon, the giggly pair of English sisters who live upstairs from Oscar. The poker loving friends of Oscar will be played by John Batchelor, Laurence Coy, Jamie Oxenbould and Anthony Taufa, with Berynn Schwerdt and Hayden Spencer as understudies.
Felix and Oscar, two divorced men, decide to share an apartment. The only problem is they’re as different as chalk and cheese.
Australia’s stage legends Shane Jacobson (Kenny, Hairspray) and Todd McKenney (WICKED, Hairspray, Shrek) will leave you in stitches as Shane plays Oscar the cigar smoking compulsive slob and Todd plays the hyper-allergic pernickety Felix.
Jacobson and McKenney… dream team casting.
An entertaining, beautifully paced production that delivers a fresh take on a classic commercial comedy.
Plenty of charm and chuckles. You can’t go wrong with this
