Emma Hawkins and Molly Womack in The Odd Couple
It’s just another Friday night in the big city as the gals gather for their weekly game of Trivial Pursuit, cocktails and girl talk. It looks like the gang’s all here: Olive, Ella, Vera, Mickey and Renee. But where is Flo? Recently kicked to the curb by her longtime boyfriend, Florence is weeping her eyes out.
Understanding how it feels to be dumped herself, Olive welcomes Florence into her bachelorette pad, where two polar opposites soon collide and test the limits of true friendship. Can one obsessive clean freak live side by side with a compulsive slob? A double date with the Costazuela brothers will answer that question. For better or for worse, this apartment just got a whole lot smaller.
Sound familiar? It should. It’s the plot of Neil Simon’s mega-hit The Odd Couple.
