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.

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.

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.
