The January 18th matinee & evening performances of The Odd Couple have been cancelled due to Nathan Lane's laryngitis. Lane co-stars with fellow Tony Award-winner Matthew Broderick in the smash Neil Simon play.

Those with tickets may receive a refund at the box office or exchange them for another performance by calling Ticketmaster.com at (212) 307-4100 or at the box office or point of purchase.

The comedy, which has been a sold-out hit since its October 27th opening at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, recently extended its run through June 4th.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello (Assassins, Take Me Out, Wicked), The Odd Couple stars Lane (The Producers, Guys and Dolls) as Oscar, Broderick (The Producers, How to Succeed...)as Felix, Lee Wilkof (Democracy, Kiss Me, Kate, Little Shop of Horrors) as Vinnie, Rob Bartlett (Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors revival) as Speed, Peter Frechette (Eastern Standard, Our Country's Good) as Roy, Olivia d'Abo ("The Wonder Years," Wayne's World 2) as Gwendolyn Pigeon and Jessica Stone (Grease, How to Succeed...) as Cecily Pigeon. Mike Starr (Requiem for a Heavyweight, "Ed," films such as Goodfellas) recently replaced Brad Garrett ("Everybody Loves Raymond") in the role of Murray the Cop. The show opened on October 27th at the Brooks Atkinson theatre to somewhat mixed reviews.

The Odd Couple relates the platonic love story of two very mismatched men--neatnik photographer Felix Unger (Broderick) and sportswriting sloven Oscar Madison (Lane). Sharing a room, their initial warm feelings for one another are tested when their lifestyles clash.

The revival is produced by Emanuel Azenberg, Ira Pittelman, Jeffrey Sine, Max Cooper and Ben Sprecher. The Odd Couple features sets by John Lee Beatty, costumes by Ann Roth and lighting design by Kenneth Posner.
