Was just watching some Tony numbers of a few shows. When watching Ragtime I noticed a couple of kids in the cast. Got me thinking... how many kids who appear on Broadway end up having a career on Broadway as adults. Andrea McArdle and SJP come to mind. Was just wondering about others.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Not quite within the definition but Bonnie Langford, who was Dainty June in Angela Lansbury's 1974 West End production of Gypsy (she may have transferred but I'm not sure) is apparently going to be making her Broadway debut as Roxie in Chicago.
She's also Scarlett Strallen's aunt.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 7:27amBonnie Langford did indeed transfer to New York with Angela Lansbury in the 1974 production of GYPSY.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Schuyler-
Daisy Eagan hasn't been back on Broadway since Secret Garden...so I don't think she counts...and Jennifer Laura Thompson made her debut in Footloose, and she was definitely an adult then.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
