Photo Flash: THE ODD COUPLE Celebrates Opening Night at Theatre at the Center

By:

On Sunday, July 17 Theatre at the Center celebrated opening night of the Neil Simon comedy classic THE ODD COUPLE. THE ODD COUPLE runs through August 14. BroadwayWorld has photos from the opening night festivities below!

One of Broadway's most successful comedies and an enduring audience favorite, THE ODD COUPLE is set on the hot summer streets of 1960's New York. It follows the adventures of two mismatched roommates, Felix Ungar, a neurotic fusspot news writer, and Oscar Madison, a slovenly sports journalist. The men attempt to adapt to each other's idiosyncrasies, all the while trying to rekindle their social lives ... with side splitting results.

Directed by Larry Wyatt, whose credits include Some Like It Hot and Over the Tavern at Theatre at the Center, THE ODD COUPLE stars George Keating (Grand Hotel and Meet Me in St. Louis at Theatre at the Center) as Felix along with Norm Boucher (The 39 Steps and Big Fish at Theatre at the Center) as Oscar. Jeff Award winner Colette Todd (Big Fish and Beverly Hillbillies, the Musical at Theatre at the Center) plays Gwen. Jocelyn Adamski, who plays Cecily, has performed at Carnegie Hall and was most recently seen singing and dancing in Wheaton Drama's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Additional cast include Larry Adams as Roy, Ray Andrecheck as Speed, Geoff Rice as Vinnie and Brett Tuomi as Murray.

THE ODD COUPLE production team includes scenic design by Angie Miller, costume design by Brenda Winstead, lighting design by Denise Karczewski, and sound design by Barry G. Funderburg. Brittney O'Keefe is the props design. The production manager is Ann Davis with Dennis Galbreath as assistant technical director. Matt McMullen is the stage manager. Richard Friedman is general manager and Linda Fortunato is Theatre at the Center's new artistic director.
