Those who love the original version and new audiences will laugh until they cry at this modern day comic tour de force. In 1985, Neil Simon revised The Original Odd Couple for a female cast. It was titled The Female Odd Couple and was based on the same story line and same lead characters, now called Florence Ungar and Olive Madison. The poker game becoming Trivial Pursuit and the Pigeon sisters becoming the Costazuela brothers, Manolo and Jesus. Neil Simon updated the original play and changed the characters to women. Foot Note... Neil Simon wrote the Odd Couple very early in his career. In an early contract he had failed to secure the TV rights to the Odd Couple during negotiations for the movie rights.. Consequently Mr. Simon .. in his own words .."never received a dime, a nickel, not a penny" from any of the Odd Couple TV shows. That’s right, so when you watch them on late night TV or on DVD just remember that even though it says.. "Neil Simon's The Odd Couple .. not a dime not a nickel not a penny...

Felix Ungar: A fastidious, hypochondriac newswriter whose marriage is ending. (In the television series, he is a professional photographer, portraits a specialty.) Murray: A fat cop , one of Oscar and Felix's poker buddies. (In the television series, Murray's last name was revealed to be Greshler.) Vinnie: One of the poker buddies. Vinnie is mild-mannered and henpecked, making him an easy target for Speed's verbal barbs. Speed: One of the poker buddies. Gruff and sarcastic, often picking on Vinnie and Murray. Roy: One of the poker buddies. Oscar's accountant. Roy has a dry wit but is less acerbic than Speed. Some character backround on Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple

The plot concerns two mismatched roommates, one neat and uptight, the other more easygoing but slovenly. In the original play these were male; Simon also made a version for a pair of female roommates, called The Female Odd Couple[1]. Sources vary as to the origins of the play. Most sources claim that Simon was inspired to write the play when he saw his brother Danny Simon and theatrical agent Roy Gerber living together after recent divorces.
