Legacy is now accepting in-person auditions and online submissions for our upcoming production of The Odd Couple.

Please be sure to read all of the information below prior to submitting an audition.

The Show:

This classic Neil Simon comedy centers on two men: the slovenly Oscar Madison, and the neat freak Felix Unger, and how they adapt to living with one another after Felix’s wife throws him out.

Available Roles:

Oscar Madison: 40’s-50’s A carefree, good-natured, divorced sportswriter who lives alone in a messy eight-room New York apartment.

Felix Unger: 40’s-50’s A fussy man who knows that he is difficult to live with but cannot – or will not – make any concessions or compromises.

Gwendolyn Pigeon: 30’s Oscar and Felix’s giggly upstairs neighbor, one of a pair of English sisters. She is a widow.

Cecily Pigeon: 30’s Oscar and Felix’s giggly upstairs neighbor, one of a pair of English sisters. She is a divorcée

Speed: 30’s-60’s One of Oscar and Felix’s poker buddies. Gruff and sarcastic, often picking on Vinnie and Murray.

Murray: 30’s-60’s A NYPD policeman, one of Oscar and Felix’s poker buddies.

Roy: 30’s-60’s One of Oscar and Felix’s poker buddies. Oscar’s accountant. Roy has a dry wit but is less acerbic than Speed.

Vinnie: 30’s-60’s One of Oscar and Felix’s poker buddies. Vinnie is mild-mannered and hen-pecked, making him an easy target for Speed’s verbal barbs.
