    CAST – The Odd Couple (female version)

    Primary Contact: Michael Hebler

    Production TypeTheatre
    Production DescriptionOne apartment. Two best friends. Zero compatibility.

    What happens when a hopelessly messy divorcée moves in with her obsessively organized best friend? In Neil Simon’s hilarious female adaptation of his classic comedy, Florence Unger and Olive Madison discover that friendship can survive almost anything—almost anything.

    Filled with witty banter, unforgettable characters, and the timeless comedy of clashing personalities, The Odd Couple (Female Version) reimagines Simon’s beloved story with an all-female group of friends navigating life, love, and the occasional moose call. Whether you’ve seen the original or are experiencing it for the first time, this fast-paced comedy remains one of the most entertaining and enduring plays ever written.

    Directed by Michael Hebler, this production brings Simon’s sharp humor and heartwarming friendships to the Alliance stage.
