Description: This renowned comedy begins with a group of the boys assembled for cards in the apartment of a divorced fellow, and if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is another fellow who, they learn, has just been separated from his wife. Since he is very meticulous and tense, they fear he might commit suicide, and so go about locking all the windows. When he arrives, he is scarcely allowed to go to the bathroom alone. As life would have it, the slob bachelor and the meticulous fellow decide to bunk together with hilarious results. The patterns of their own disastrous marriages begin to reappear in this arrangement; and so this too must end.

Oscar Madison M Lead 35 50 Slovenly, unkempt, dis-organized, but also a softy at heart, and a true, true friend in every sense of the word.
Felix Unger M Lead 35 50 Neat, organized, obsessively clean, depressed about the loss of his marriage. A people pleaser and also a true friend with a big heart.
Murray the Cop M Supporting 35 50 Big and strong. A cop for the NYC police force. A "simple" man with simple pleasures. A worrier and a "fixer" of problems.
Speed M Supporting 35 50 Sarcastic, dry sense of humor, and a constant complainer. He loves the game of poker and doesn't like to be distracted from the game.
Roy M Supporting 35 50 Also a bit sarcastic. Likes to pick on his friends but always out of love for them because he knows them so well! He's an "observer" and like his friend Speed, is fixated on poker and the game itself.
Vinnie M Supporting 35 50 Sweet, lovable and gullable. He's giving and a bit shy and comes to poker to be around his friends and not the game itself. Also a very dedicated friend.
