The Odd Couple at Drury Lane- Oakbrook

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...Simon's strength as the king of one-liners transcends eras, of course. Oscar's description of Felix as "the only man in the world with clenched hair" would be funny anytime. But nearly 45 years later, the play retains interest as a fascinating snapshot of a stratum of American society in the dawning days of the sexual revolution. That the stereotypical battle of the sexes is played out onstage by two heterosexual men only adds to the underlying poignancy and emotional confusion of its protagonists."

Daily Herald - Recommended

"...Drury Lane delivers a safe, respectable revival of Neil Simon's 1965 comedy about a pair of divorced men -- a neat-freak and a slob -- trying to co-exist without driving each other crazy. Director Greg Kolack and leads Norm Boucher and Dan Rodden make the most of this comic chestnut."

Windy City Times - Recommended

"...The choice to go with the original Odd Couple may not be adventurous programming, but you can’t really complain much with Greg Kolack’s solid comic direction and savvy casting."

EpochTimes - Highly Recommended

"...Drury Lane Oakbrook is home to this delightful comedy and under the direction of Greg Kolack who has put together a solid cast, this two hours plus will leave you wishing for more."

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...You’d be hard pressed to see a funnier and better performed show that Drury Lane Oakbrook’s The Odd Couple. Take the teens in your family to see this show so they’ll experience a magnificent playwright at the top of his art."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Somewhat Recommended

"...The cast opts for stereotypes rather than living, breathing characters. Perhaps that’s the way to go. After all, we’ve all grown up in the shadow of famous "couples" Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, Tony Randall and Jack Klugman on the small screen."
