Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, the stars of the new Broadway revival of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, will take a seat on Oprah Winfrey's couch on the Oct. 28 episode of the popular talk show.

The Odd Couple is currently in previews. It opens Oct. 27.

"The Oprah Winfrey" show airs in the metropolitan area on WABC-TV Channel 7, 4-5 PM ET. Check local listings.

Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick—the original Max and Leo of The Producers—play Oscar Madison and Felix Unger in Neil Simon's classic comedy about the uneasy cohabitation of a sloppy sportswriter and an uptight writer for CBS news. The 1965 play's 1960s time period has been retained.

The suppoting cast of The Odd Couple features Peter Frechette (Roy) Brad Garrett (Murray), Lee Wilkof (Vinnie) and Rob Bartlett (Speed), and Pigeon Sisters Jessica Stone (Cecily) and Olivia d'Abo (Gwendolyn). Joe Mantello directs.

The Odd Couple is produced by Ira Pittelman, Jeffrey Sine, Ben Sprecher, Max Cooper, Scott E. Nederlander and Emanuel Azenberg.
