Keep your friends CLOSE…or maybe NOT!!!
Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre opens its 14th season with Tony Award-winning American original, THE ODD COUPLE. In light of the recent passing of playwright Neil Simon, the MET is proud to bring this comedic masterpiece to the Kansas City stage.
Felix is having a rough time. His marriage is ending, his attempted suicide is foiled at every turn, and his allergies might just be flairing up again. Things finally seem to turn around when recently-divorced pal Oscar offers to let him move in. Their mutual hopes of a leisurely bachelorhood are dashed, however, when neat-freak Felix begins to impose his sense of order on Oscar’s perfect pigsty of an apartment. Hilarity ensues as both men doggedly defend their own way of life, discovering once and for all that, to paraphrase the old saw, “A lifelong friend is someone you haven’t LIVED WITH yet.”
From Neil Simon, the undisputed master of American Comedy, comes this wild, wonderful, whirling story of beers, buddies and boundaries. Come to the MET to celebrate the life and career of a true American icon and see for yourself why THE ODD COUPLE has continued to amused and delighted audiences for over 50 years.
Directed by Bob Paisley, THE ODD COUPLE features the diverse local talents of Tony Beasley, Scott Cordes, Curtis Smith, Andy Penn, Bill Pelletier, Larry Goodman, Rebecca Ralstin, and Nicole Hall.
