Steve Carell and John C. Reilly will star as mismatched roommates Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison in a Broadway revival of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple.
Performances begin March 3, 2027 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, with opening night set for March 23. The production runs for a 15-week limited engagement.
Carell plays Felix, the neat and anxious half of the pair. Reilly plays Oscar, the slovenly sportswriter who takes him in after Felix’s marriage ends.
Tony winner Thomas Kail, who directed Hamilton, directs the revival. The cast also includes Laura Benanti as Gwendolyn Pigeon, James Monroe Iglehart as Murray, Rob McClure as Vinnie, Helene Yorke as Cecily Pigeon, Kevin Del Aguila as Roy and David Zayas as Speed.
The Odd Couple opened on Broadway in 1965, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Walter Matthau and Art Carney. The new production marks the centennial of Simon’s birth, according to BroadwayWorld.
