I told you last week that Steve Carell and John C. Reilly were coming to Broadway in “The Odd Couple.”
Now it’s been announced officially.
The revival of Neil Simon’s great comedy will open on March 23rd, 2027, directed by Tommy Kail, of “Hamilton” fame.
More cast has been added including Laura Benanti now a comedy icon from the Colbert show, where she played Melania Trump so beautifully, plus “Aladdin,” Tony Award winner James Monroe Iglehart, David Zayas, Heléne Yorke, Kevin del Aguila, and Rob McClure.
Carell is Felix, Reilly is Oscar. Benanti and Yorke will play the Pigeon sisters, although they sadly won’t be singing their lines.
Producer Jeffrey Seller isn’t fooling around. Hey hired Barry Blitt, of The New Yorker fame, to illustrate the ad. (See below.)
Please, guys, don’t make the tickets nine hundred dollars!
