How about the "If I Loved You" scene in Carousel. I saw it at the Beaumont Theater in 1994 with Michael Hayden and Sally Murphy. They were phenomenal -- so touching and natural. There's also a wonderful video of that scene from the original production with John Raitt and Jan Clayton.

I agree about Ragtime. Sarah Brown Eyes is so sweet and so sad.

And Robert Petkoff and Christiane Noll in the RAGTIME revival. Exquisite.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Anthony Ramos (As Laurens)
Not Broadway, but i finally just watched the 25th anniversary Phantom production on DVD, and the chemistry between Sierra Boggess and Hadley Fraser was jaw-dropping.
Idina Menzel and James Snyder in If/Then and Bryce Pinkham and Lora Lee Gayer in Holiday Inn.
Based on the filmed version, I think Montego Glover and Chad Kimball had great chemistry in Memphis (a show I otherwise find good but not great). The romance between the two Patricks in Next Fall also sticks out in my theatrical memory.

Celia Keenan Bolger and Brian J. Smith in The Glass Menagerie.
I thought Kelli O'Hara and Ken Watanabe had really surprising and hot chemistry in The King and I.
But most surprising: Jake Gyllenhaal and Ellen Greene in Little Shop.

Does "Mandy and Bernadette" go without saying?

sbflyfan, OMG.
This is a bit of an odd answer, but I thought the progression of the chemistry between Judy Kaye and Michael McGrath in NICE WORK was very well done. I literally cheered when they finally got together.
I thought Bernadette Peters and Ron Raines paired well in FOLLIES.
And, of course, Kelli and Paulo in SOUTH PACIFIC.
