From Library Journal
Many libraries collecting dramas on cassettes have concentrated on English staples--Shakespeare, Shaw, Wilde, etc. With justifiable domestic pride, L.A. Theatre Works is recording worthy American plays. In this classic Simon comedy, David Paymer is the endearing hypochondriac Felix Unger,and Nathan Lane is his snappish, abrasive adversary Oscar Madison. An audience at this staged performance laughs with them and the supporting cast. Director Peter Levin paces their comic timing briskly. The sound is clear and close up, avoiding hollow stage acoustics, but the producer could have added value by filling the empty cassette side(s) with readings of scenes from another play by Simon. The Odd Couple is recommended for drama collections and for devotees of witty dialog.

When his wife leaves him, prim, finicky Felix Unger moves in with his poker buddy, Oscar Madison, a notorious slob, and . . . Well, does anybody NOT know the premise of playwright Simon's most overexposed comedy? This version, recorded before a live audience, isn't particularly good but isn't bad either. Just uninspired. The fine L.A. performers, including Nathan Lane cast against type as Oscar, just doesn't quite connect with the play, which is still strong enough to deliver plenty of laughs.
