Brace yourself for one of the great American comedies—Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple, a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud look at friendship, frustration, and the fine art of learning to live with someone who drives you absolutely crazy.

When neat-freak Felix Ungar moves in with his recently divorced buddy Oscar Madison—a carefree slob with a talent for clutter—their unlikely roommate experiment quickly turns into a domestic battleground. From mismatched habits and passive-aggressive remarks to poker nights gone wrong and dinner dates derailed, the apartment becomes a pressure cooker of personality clashes and comic sparks.

Set in mid-century New York and packed with Simon’s trademark wit, The Odd Couple is a masterclass in timing, character, and escalating absurdity. Beneath the laughter lies something surprisingly tender: a story about companionship, compromise, and the ways rivalry can transform into friendship.

Smart, fast-paced, and endlessly relatable, The Odd Couple is comedy at its most human—and a perfect counterbalance to the musical grandeur elsewhere in the Festival season.
