The Odd Couple Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More
Originally opening on Broadway in 1965, The Odd Couple was directed by Mike Nichols and starred Walter Matthau and Art Carney. The original production won four Tony Awards and became one of the most beloved comedies of all time, inspiring the 1968 film, a long-running television series, and countless productions around the world.
Director and producer Thomas Kail says, “Neil Simon wrote one of the great American comedies, and it is an honor and a thrill to be part of this exceptional team bringing this play back to Broadway. Underneath the extraordinary humor is something deeply human. Steve and John are two remarkable actors who can make an audience laugh uproariously one moment and move them deeply in the next. We aim to create a world that feels alive, immediate, and can clearly express why this play has endured for more than sixty years.”
“Why are we doing this? We need to laugh. Period.” — Producer Jeffrey Seller
