Can’t get enough of Klinger’s cross-dressing or Father Mulcahy’s proselytizing? “M*A*S*H” fans will be happy to learn that Jamie Farr and William Christopher, from TV’s seemingly longest-running sitcom, will don the characters of TV’s seemingly second-longest-running sitcom, “The Odd Couple.” Farr is, oddly enough, Oscar, and Christopher is Felix in this revival of the ’60s Broadway hit – which inspired a movie and the aforementioned TV show – that plays at 8 p.m. Friday at the Hemmens Theater, 150 Dexter Court, Elgin. Lest you have forgotten, Oscar is a hideously messy, divorced newspaper sports reporter; Felix is the honking, obsessively neat, newly separated old chum whom Oscar allows to move into his apartment. Cigar smoking, poker games with Murray the cop, dates with stewardesses and arguments over Oscar’s sloppiness ensue. Tickets are $38-$40; call 847-931-5900.
