Odd Couple Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick extend their run to the 4 Jun

Originally announced to play through to the 2 Apr 2006, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick will continue to star as Oscar Madison and Felix Ungar in the new Broadway production of Neil Simon's classic comedy The Odd Couple through to the 4 Jun 2006.

The Odd Couple: Felix and Oscar, two divorced men, decide to share an apartment, only problem is there are as different as chalk and cheese. Felix is a hyper- allergic, fanatic for organization and cleanliness, while Oscar is a cigar-smoking, compulsive slob. The characteristics that drove each of them to leave their wives soon have them at each other's throats.

The comedy opened at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on the 27 Oct 2005, following previews from the 4 Oct, the show is currently booking through to the 4 Jun 2006.

The show opened to mainly good notices. The New York Post wrote "Steal tickets if you can - the chemistry's still there," Associated Press called the show a "a laugh-filled revival." However, the New York Daily News said "Lane falls back on his stock mannerisms - the look of outrage with a conspiratorial glance at the audience, the braying Broderick seems totally at a loss."
