A supercouple or super couple (also known as a power couple) is a popular and/or wealthy pairing that intrigues and fascinates the public in an intense or obsessive fashion.

On The Razzle (play)
''On the Razzle'' is a play by Tom Stoppard which premiered at the Royal National Theatre, London in 1981. It is an adaptation of the 1842 Viennese play ''Einen Jux will er sich machen'' by Johann Nestroy, which had been adapted twice by Thornton Wilder. The first Wilder version, 1938, entitled ''The Merchant of Yonkers'', was faithful to the original material, but the second Wilder version, 1955, renamed ''The Matchmaker'', expanded the previously secondary role of Dolly Gallagher Levi, who later became the heroine of the Jerry Herman musical hit, '' Hello, Dolly!''. Stoppard's adaptation eliminates the Dolly character. The play's title is a euphemism, often used by the British press, to describe the actions of a celebrity who has drunk, or is about to drink, a considerable amount of alcohol. Plot Stoppard's farce consists of two hours of slapstick shenanigans, mistaken identities, misdirected orders, malapropisms, double entendres, and romantic complications. Herr Zangler, t ...
