Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's THE ODD COUPLE Begins Tonight

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's 2015 Season has an odd start as it opens with Neil Simon's classic comedy The Odd Couple. On stage starting tonight, Dec. 27, this four-time Tony Award winning show is ready to liven up winter with plenty of laughs.

Marking its 50th Anniversary in 2015, The Odd Couple stars two of Beef & Boards' favorite funnymen. Jeff Stockberger plays Oscar Madison, a divorced, easygoing and irresponsible sports writer, while Eddie Curry plays Felix Unger, the neurotic neat freak whose marriage is on the rocks. In an effort to help out his buddy, Oscar suggests Felix should move in with him - and the results are nothing short of hilarious!

The popularity of Simon's famous play has endured throughout those five decades, with multiple revivals and adaptations on both the big and small screen - including an upcoming CBS series.

Directed by Douglas E. Stark, The Odd Couple also stars Carrie Fedor as Cecily, Erin Cohenour as Gwendolyn, Darrin Murrell as Vinnie, Dave Ruark as Roy, Michael Davis as Speed and Craig Underwood as Murray.

The Odd Couple is on stage for 41 performances through Feb. 8 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $40 to $65 and include Chef Odell Ward's dinner buffet, prepared in-house for each performance, and select beverages. Parking is always free.

New Year's Eve: A special New Year's Eve performance is scheduled for Dec. 31, which includes the dinner buffet, show, party favors, dancing to live music, balloon drop, a champagne toast at midnight, and Chef Odell Ward's breakfast buffet. Tickets to this special celebration are $82.50.
