Critic reviews

"...recommended for drama collections and for devotees of witty dialog." (Library Journal)
"One of Neil Simon's best, and this audio play version does his wit and playwriting abilities full and complete justice." (Midwest Book Review)

Excellent adaptation

Might be Neal Simon’s funniest play. All the actors are excellent, wonderful production , highly recommend it.

Laughing out loud

This Neil Simon comedy is still making me and my family laugh out loud!!! What a great example of humor and timing

Good for a laugh

Not quite as good as the original and not nearly as good as the television series but still good nevertheless. A fun listen and great narration so, if your in the mood for a good laugh than give it a go.

Brilliantly funny, and the file is now fixed

Other reviews here note that the file is all jumbled up, with scenes out of order. This has now been fixed by an update, so buy this without fear!

It's a fabulous story of a slob and a neat freak who decide to live together when their marriages fail. Hilarity ensues. Nathan Lane is stellar as Oscar, a genius actor perfectly cast and having a lot of fun while he's at it.

Classic American comedy at its finest. Buy, laugh, and laugh some more ...

Nostalgic and humorous recall of a golden era!

Wow! I could listen to this all day! Nice work and very entertaining to listen to.
