tonight is my high school's last showing of The Odd Couple (female version). i honestly cant say which is better because i have never seen the original [or the movie], but after being Jesus [one of the spanish brothers who Olive and Florence invite over for the date] i started wondering, would they ever adapt the female version for the screen?
and if you've ever seen the female version, what did you think?

I just saw my niece perform in it at her high school tonight (she was Vera). I didn't care for it at all. I MUCH prefer the original version. But that's just me. Maybe I'm just a purist when it comes to The Odd ouple.

What a small world. I played 'Olive' in a community theatre's production of The (Female) Odd Couple in the late 80ies. Such a fun part. I also played Gwendolyn Pigeon in the male version, twice. I honestly believe the male version is funnier. Both are great but the male verion is a classic. FANTASTIC lines. Neil Simon at his best.

Well I guess it is somewhat of a small world. I played Jesus in my community theatre's production of it. I must say "Jesus" is my top favorite character I enjoyed playing. My friend from high school played Manolo and we stole the showespecially with our ingenious blocking we did ourselves.
What we did (to those who remember the part) was when Manolo was saying how Castillian spanish is different from english:
Manolo: You see, Castillian spanish you pronounce differnet than english. Barselona ees Barthelona. San Jo-say is San Ho-say. Very Very good vitamins ees Berry Berry good BitaminsSo-they haf berry berry good bitiamins in San Ho-say but berry berry bad bodka martinis in BarthelonaI do good Hay-zoos?
Jesus: Berry berry nith.
At that point we did our usual over-the-top laugh, then at the same time we slapped our knees and crossed our legs in perfect unison. It brought the house down.
Sorry if I rantedI just loved that part. -

Oh my gosh!I was in The Odd Couple(Female Version) my freshman year of high school.I played Mickey the Cop.It was such a great show!Our cast was hilarious.I honestly love this version much more than the male version.In fact,the same time we did the female version we did the male version.But our cast for the male version was just not that great.The only really good ones were the two playing Oscar and Felix.Wow,everyone I've ever mentioned the female version to has never heard of it!Glad others have.This is a great script!

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.
