The Odd Couple doesn't have an all-male cast...remember the Pigeon Sisters? (Tony Shalhoub played one of the equivalent roles in the female Odd Couple that played on Broadway.)MinnesotaMyron wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 4:22 pm I got this FJ, after a brief moment of thought. Had to get Twelve Angry Men out of mind as not having a "small" cast.
It occurred to me later that The Odd Couple might be another choice, although that one has an authorized-by-the-playwright version for women. (Fun fact: In that one, they don't play poker, they play Trivial Pursuit.)
I seem to remember a story this year that some theatre was trying to do a sex or race or LGBT swapped version of some play (actually, it seems I don't remember at all!) and the estate of the author pulled support, since it would change the fundamental meaning of the show. That's actually fairly common.
You may be thinking about the Albee estate and Who's Afraid...
