Unless you’re luckier than we are, you pass the posters advertising The Odd Couple’s revival with a bitter harrumph. It’s starting previews today for an Oct. 27th opening to a run that’s been sold out since practically the first minute someone had the idea for casting Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.
