Arizona Broadway Theatre proudly adds another classic
play to its production roster. The Odd Couple, the Tony
Award-winning masterpiece by Neil Simon, had its debut
in 1965. Felix Ungar, a neurotic, neat freak news writer
– having been thrown out by his wife – moves in with
his friend Oscar Madison, a messy sportswriter. The
Broadway play ran for nearly 1,000 performances and
inspired not only a successful film, but also the TV series
starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.
