Steve Carell and John C. Reilly to Star in Broadway Revival of The Odd Couple

Broadway has a new pair of roommates. Steve Carell will play Felix Ungar and John C. Reilly will play Oscar Madison in a revival of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple, directed by Tony Award winner Thomas Kail. The 15-week limited engagement begins previews March 3, 2027, at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre and opens March 23.

The cast also includes Laura Benanti as Gwendolyn Pigeon, Kevin Del Aguila as Roy, James Monroe Iglehart as Murray, Rob McClure as Vinnie, Heléne Yorke as Cecily Pigeon and David Zayas as Speed.

Carell returns to Broadway after making his debut in the title role of Uncle Vanya in 2024. Reilly earned a Tony nomination for True West, in which he starred alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman, and an Oscar nomination for playing Amos Hart in the film adaptation of Chicago.

“Underneath the extraordinary humor is something deeply human. Steve and John are two remarkable actors who can make an audience laugh uproariously one moment and move them deeply in the next,” Kail said.

The revival marks the centennial of Simon’s birth. Originally opening on Broadway in 1965, The Odd Couple was directed by Mike Nichols and starred Walter Matthau and Art Carney. The original production won four Tony Awards and became one of the most beloved comedies of all time, inspiring the 1968 film, a long-running television series, and countless productions around the world.

The creative team includes scenic designer David Korins, costume designer Brenda Abbandandolo, lighting designer Stacey Derosier and sound designer Jill BC Du Boff.

The American Express presale begins November 12, and tickets go on sale to the general public November 17. For more info visit OddCoupleBroadway.com
