Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, the dynamic acting duo who powered The Producers to its record-breaking mega-musical status, are back on the Broadway stage together in the revival of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, currently in previews at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

Lane and Broderick star as Oscar Madison and Felix Ungar, respectively, the classic mismatched roommates who bungle their way through comedic master Simon's enormously popular 1965 play that spawned a beloved movie version and television series.

At left, Lane and Broderick are seen in several moments from the revival. Below, the pair act out the famous poker game scene with co-stars Lee Wilkof, Rob Bartlett, Brad Garrett and Peter Frechette.

The Odd Couple is directed by Joe Mantello (Wicked, Glengarry Glen Ross) and opens at the Atkinson on Oct. 27.
