Neil Simon's The Odd Couple (Female Version) is a comedic play that reimagines the original male version with female leads. The story revolves around two mismatched roommates: Olive Madison, a messy and carefree divorcée, and Florence Unger, a neurotic and fastidious woman freshly separated from her husband. The humor arises from their contrasting personalities and lifestyles as they navigate living together in Olive's New York City apartment.

Character Descriptions
(Ages may be adjusted by Director based on casting pool.
Please note the roles of Olive Madison and Florence Unger have already been cast.)
Sylvie, age 30+
Sylvie is desperately trying to stop smoking, and so sucks on lollipops or chews gum. She can get irritated with her friends but has a good sense of humor, especially about her husband.
Mickey, age 30+
Mickey is a police officer who is down-to-earth, plain talking, and has a good understanding of people. Sometimes she can take the “police bit” too far and she tries very hard to be in control of all situations.
Renee, age 30+
Renee is Sylvie’s best friend. She can be very plain-spoken, especially when she points out Olive’s failings as a hostess, and then Florence's. She is single and dating a doctor.
Vera, age 30+
Vera is very sweet, very nice, somewhat spacey, and, although quite smart, is often a step or two behind her friends. She’s very funny but doesn’t realize it.
Manolo Costazuela, age 30-40
Manolo is handsome and very well groomed. He is every woman’s dreamdate and showers both Olive and Florence with attention. He must have good comic timing and a Spanish accent.
Jesus Costazuela, age 30-40
Jesus is Manolo’s handsome younger brother, who is well-groomed, very romantic and emotional, and truly appreciates Florence. A Spanish accent is required for this role.
