The Odd Couple
The Odd Couple was very good, and very funny. Though the next time I see a show remind me NOT to sit with the tourists or the B&T people. They rustled papers and/or talked almost constantly through the show.
I had only seen the movie version once, and I enjoyed it but it wasn't a favorite, it's not something I would seek out to watch again for certain.
It's interesting that most musicals have a change of scenery after many of their scenes, while most straight plays that I've seen have almost no change of scenery. Though in the Odd Couple after each scene they drop a scrim to do a slight scenery change, it's still the same basic setting for the whole show.
Nathan Lane is hysterical as a comic actor (this was my first time seeing him in person) and I would love to see him do a straight role. It was kind of sad that he immediately ran off the stage after taking his bow. Literally the other cast members were still mid bow and he turned around and ran off. Maybe he had a hot date.
Matthew Broderick was just okay I thought. He's a pretty good actor, but he used this really odd voice for the part that just didn't seem right.
And I now have a new nickname for my roommate. F.U.

As someone who lives in an outerborough, just a word of advice. You do not have permission to use the term "B&T." None of us do. Yes, I know about BAM; yes I know how chic the Slope has become, etc etc etc. Forget the term.
Use the word "Jersey" instead.
Kisses.

Can you get tickets for Woman in White before it closes? I thought I would be able to get them off TDF for next week but apparently not :(
