In this classic, comedic romp, newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter are proof positive that opposites attract. He’s a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer; she’s a free spirit. But they quickly discover married life is no paradise, having to endure a new apartment that’s falling to pieces, surprise visits from Corie’s overly protective mother, and the antics of their eccentric neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco. Paul doesn’t understand Corie’s impulsiveness, while she wants him to be more spontaneous. Maybe running “barefoot in the park” would be a start? This Tony Award-winner went on to become iconic playwright Neil Simon’s first and longest running theatrical hit when it premiered 50 years ago.
CORIE BRATTER (20 – 35)
A carefree young newlywed. A free spirit, bubbling with energy who easily throws caution into the wind.
PAUL BRATTER (20 – 35)
Corie’s husband, a young lawyer with a dry wit who likes to stay in his comfort zone. The ying to Corie’s yang.
ETHEL BANKS (45 – 65)
Corie’s cautious mother who is willing to endure anything for her daughter. Conservative, but not too stuffy.
VICTOR VELASCO (45 – 65)
The Bratters’ eccentric, bohemian neighbor who has a zest for life despite his age. Basically a good guy, but enjoys coming off as a “Don Juan” type.
THE TELEPHONE REPAIR MAN (35 – 60)
A good-humored man who makes observations on everyday life. Must have great comic delivery and timing.
THE DELIVERY MAN (60 – 80)
An older man who brings wedding gifts sent to the Bratters. Great comic presence a must.
