Olive Madison News

Village Square Theatre closes the season with Neil Simon's The Odd Couple (Female version). Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon's hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of 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 The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the hilarious Constanzuela brothers.

For the first time in its 30-year history, Red Mountain Theatre Company brings a straight play (non-musical) to their stage with The Odd Couple: Female Version February 19-March 1, 2009, at the RMTC Cabaret Theatre (301 19th Street North). Neil Simon's contemporary classic gets a makeover in this hilarious tale of mismatched roommates. Newly separated from her husband, obsessive compulsive Florence Unger decides to move into the home of divorcee Olive Madison, currently enjoying the slovenly life as a single female. When their worlds collide, the story explodes in this laugh-out-loud comedy that takes a look at life from a different point of view.
