Neil Simon's 1966 smash hit, "The Odd Couple," is one of the most recognized farces of the writer's career. In 1980, Simon reworked the show and recast the leads as women and updated a lot of the humor. The result: "The Odd Couple (The Female Version)." It was only a matter of time until Saint M a r y s Communications, Dance and Theatre Department took up the challenge. The play follows Olive (Heather Muth), a successful television news anchor who lives in a bachelorette pad in New York.
