Synopsis

Comedy / 2m 6f / Int

Unger and Madison are at it again!

Florence Unger and Olive Madison that is in Neil Simon's hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of The Odd Couple.

Instead of the poker party that begins the original version Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit.

The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the two Constanzuela brothers.

But the hilarity remains the same."Very funny indeed."- New York Post "Endearing."- USA Toda
