BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Presented with views from three sides, in the Lakewood Playhouse''s unique "U-Shaped" seating, this production of "THE ODD COUPLE" will drop you right into the middle of Oscar Madison''s New York apartment! We are proud to present Neil Simon''s world-famous comedy about two best friends who just might become their own worst enemies. THE ODD COUPLE features the Lakewood Playhouse debut of Director Steve Tarry.

The show consists of a ensemble of Local Comedic Actors that features both new, and returning faces to the Lakewood Playhouse stage from previous productions: CHRIS CANTRELL (Oscar), Joseph Grant (Roy), GABRIEL McCLELLAND (Speed), JED SLAUGHTER (Murray) and KADI BURT (Cecily Pigeon). We are proud to introduce the following actors to the Lakewood Playhouse Stage: Jim Rogers (Felix), Martin GoldSMITH (Vinnie) and PALMER SCHEUTZOW (Gwendolyn Pigeon).

ABOUT THE SHOW: "With Friends Like Felix...Who Needs Enemies?" Felix and Oscar are an extremely odd couple. Felix is anal-retentive, neurotic, precise and fastidiously clean. Oscar, on the other hand, is the exact opposite...Sloppy and casual. Can they share an apartment together? Could you?

Returning to the Lakewood Playhouse stage for the first time since 1967. PARENTAL ADVISORY:: Some crude humor and simulated smoking onstage.

The Lakewood Playhouse was founded in 1938 and has established itself with theatre that is both intimate and epic. The theatre is located within the Lakewood Towne Center, 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd., Lakewood, Washington 98499.
