July 2024
12 July 24 - THE ODD COUPLE
It started as a play and Broadway laughed. A movie and a TV series followed and the whole world laughed. Now, laugh all over again with this hilarious new Australian stage production of The Odd Couple.
Felix and Oscar, two divorced men, decide to share an apartment. The only problem is they’re as different as chalk and cheese.
Joining Shane Jacobson and Todd McKenney are stage and screen stars Lucy Durack and Penny McNamee who add to the hilarity as Cecily Pigeon and Gwendolyn Pigeon, the giggly pair of English sisters who live upstairs from Oscar. The poker loving friends of Oscar will be played by John Batchelor, Laurence Coy, Jamie Oxenbould and Anthony Taufa.
Australia’s stage legends Shane Jacobson (Kenny, Hairspray) and Todd McKenney (WICKED, Hairspray, Shrek) will leave you in stitches as Shane plays Oscar the cigar smoking compulsive slob and Todd plays the hyper-allergic pernickety Felix.
Scarcely a moment that is not hilarious.
