Steve Carell, John C. Reilly to Lead 'The Odd Couple' Revival on Broadway

The 15-week revival pairs Carell and Reilly with an all-star cast as Broadway marks Neil Simon’s 100th birthday year.

  • Director and Tony Award winner Thomas Kail announced Thursday, Nov. 12, a Broadway revival of Neil Simon's 'The Odd Couple' starring Steve Carell as Felix Ungar and John C. Reilly as Oscar Madison, with previews beginning March 3, 2027, at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
  • Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Simon's birth, this production revisits the 1965 comedy originally directed by Mike Nichols and starring Walter Matthau and Art Carney as the famously mismatched roommates.
  • An all-star supporting cast joins the production, including Tony winners Laura Benanti and James Monroe Iglehart, Tony nominees Kevin Del Aguila and Rob McClure, and TV favorites Helène Yorke and David Zayas.
  • Tickets for the 15-week limited engagement go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, Nov. 17, with American Express presale access already available.
  • "Underneath the extraordinary humor is something deeply human," Kail noted, explaining why the play has endured for more than 60 years.
