Hahaha, how bizarre. I was in the female version of "The Odd Couple" two years back at my HS. I was Manolo.
Awesome to meet a fellow Costazuela!
And honestly, I like the both plays (I prefer the male) but I think the film is flat.

Poor Sally, the night a friend attended that show, a woman seated near the stage was heard to say rather loudly when only Sally and Rita were on," Boy, did she get fat!" Sally heard the remark and shot the woman a glance that could kill.

I feel kinda specialMy character is the only one who hasn't been mentioned. We're doing the female version at my high school and I get to play Florence!! My older sister is also in the play and she is playing Renee. It's so weird seeing all these posts of people who have starred in the play!

I was Olive in a little duet acting thing at my school last year. It was GREAT! My friend and I did the "linguini scene," as we all came to know it by. I've seen the male version, never the female version, just that scene. The female version was being done at our local theatre, but I thought that both versions are great.

That would be great if they did the female version on film!
I recently saw both versions at my college and I definitely liked the female version better. Maybe it was just that the chemistry between the women was better, or that I identified with a bunch of women more than a group of men, or that it was better acted. It was very similar to the male version but the humor was better and I liked the characters more, even though they're the same. Also, the Spanish brothers did a lot more than the Pidgeon sisters, who just sat and giggled and cried. -

I'm in the play right now as Manolo, for city theater. To be honest with you, I prefer Jack Lemmon's Felix to Nancy's (the woman playing Florence in the production) Florence, because Lemmon acts the role in a way that doesn't drive you crazy. For some reason, I don't know why Nancy reads Florence so irateI guess it really depends on the actor/actress on which one you like more.

I played Olive back in November, and all i have to say is to not hold back, yell at flo, and flirt as much as possible with manolo and jesus!! Biting your bottom lip helped for me, especially because i couldn't make it through that scene without laughing. But most of all, HAVE AS MUH FUN AS YOU CAN.
Everyone I know has a big "but." Come on, Simone, let's talk about your big "but."
