Oscar becomes Olive (Jenifer Rose) and Felix becomes Florence (Camille Romera) in this female version of The Odd Couple. Playwright Neil Simon revised the script himself in 1985—20 years after writing it for kane casting. There are a few other flips too: poker becomes Trivial Pursuit (the scene features Mana‘o radio’s Kathy Collins and, from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Beth Garrow) and the Coo-Coo Pigeon sisters are now the Costazuela brothers.
