Broadway kids who later appeared on Broadway as adults?#1

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.

I know Baayork Lee was in the OBC of The King and I.

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.

Sarah Litzsinger- as a child in Marilyn and Oliver!, as an adult in Beauty and the Beast and Amour, and several stints in-between the two in Les Miz.

Bonnie 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.

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.

Patty Duke as Helen in The Miracle Worker, then as Aunt Eller in Oklahoma '02.
