Odd Couple-The Female Version

From the time we walked into the restaurant, until we waved our last goodbye, we attracted attention, smiles, and comments as we made our way through the evening.

Nine Plum Pretties met at Waves restaurant and enjoyed a most delicious meal before heading off to Gross Pointe Farms and the Gross Pointe Theater to enjoy "The Odd Couple - The Female Version". And enjoy we did!

As we entered the theater, we were very, very pleased to see that Lady Bling-Bling had done us right with our seats. We were rows C and D, and the view was spectacular. While we were waiting for the curtain to go up, we decided to play a game of "Name The Occupation". Lady Hatter Chatter spotted a gentleman on the other side of the aisle, and decided that he looked like he may have been a retired Physician. But, that theory was soon shot down with Lady Happy Snappy's observation that he was actually Orville Redenbacher of popcorn fame. I must say, she was absolutely correct, and with that most astute observation, our game quickly ended. How do you top Orville Redenbacher?

We didn't have to try, because to our delight, the curtain rose, and the fun just kept on coming, and getting funnier in the process.

The similarities between our female version and the original were very subtle, but the author left out no detail. The male Oscar became Olive, and Felix became Florence. There was even the cop who hung out at the apartment for the games, just like in the male version. Perhaps the ones who stole the show were the male actors who portrayed the brothers from Latin America, who were the targeted love interests of Olive and Florence. The acting was superb, the jokes were well delivered, and the script was extremely well written.

When the final curtain came down we were happy to have been there, and sad to see it end.
Before midnight struck, and we all turned back into pumpkins, we were safely home and still giggling over the events of the evening.

Many, many thanks to Lady Bling-Bling Nancy for putting together this outing. It was positively enjoyed by all!

Next production by this small theater group....
count me in!

Respectfully Submitted for Lady Bling-Bling Nancy,

Lady Hatter Chatter Brenda
