Relatives in Musicals — Page 2

All related by marriage, but these immediately came to mind...

Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo in Hair

Tony Vincent and Aspen Miller in American Idiot

Megan Lawrence and Kevin Kern in Hair

 

Brian Stokes Mitchell's wife, Allyson Tucker, was in the ensemble of Man of La Mancha when he played Cervantes/Don Quixote. 

Doug Henning's (Merlin in Merlin) wife, Debbie, was in the ensemble of that show. 

Barnard Hughes and his wife, Helen Stenborg, appeared together in Waiting in the Wings.  A semi-related topic regarding this show is at the 2000 Tonys, Rosemary Harris was nominated for her performance as lead actress in a play for this show, whereas her daughter, Jennifer Ehle, was nominated in the same category for her performance in the first revival of The Real Thing.  Ehle beat out her mom.

In an Off-Broadway production of Long Day's Journey... at Irish Rep, Frances Sternhagen's actual son, Tony Carlin, also played her son in the play, he being Jamie Tyrone to her Mary Tyrone.

Although I did not see them, there is famous married duo of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne appearing together in many productions, and siblings Fred and Adele Astaire performed together as well.

SJP and Matthew Broderick currently in Plaza Suite.

Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale (partners, not married) currently in Madea

Haven't Shirley Jones and Patrick Cassidy appeared somewhere together in 42nd Street?

TheGingerBreadMan said: "Jessie Mueller as Jenna in Waitress on Broadway, and her sister Abby, who played the role on tour and was later a Broadway replacement."

That was Beautiful, not Waitress. I remember seeing the Mueller girls in the chorus of Oliver together at Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre in Illinois. I think their father may have also been in that production. They also appeared as Adelaide and Sarah in Guys and Dolls there together.

NOWaWarning said: "Sutton and Hunter Foster were in Grease on Broadway together back in the 90s. She was Sandy and I believe he was Roger and a Danny understudy. I’ve heard Sutton tell a story of how one night the Danny called out and they were asked if they would be fine going on together as the romantic leads. They understandably said hell to the no."

Was thinking of this--also saw Sutton and Hunter AND Christian Borle AND Jennifer Cody (Hunter's wife) all in a fun concert performance of Snoopy! back in 2004. Also saw Hunter and Jennifer together in Grease and in Urinetown too I think. And Sutton and Christian together in Thoroughly Modern Millie. And of course on Younger and in the GIlmore Girls revival. And Sutton and Hunter on Bunheads.

I wonder why they cast the show that way knowing it was possible a brother and sister could play a romantic couple? 

Ones I've seen:

David and Shaun Cassidy in Blood Brothers 

Adam Halpin and Megan McGinnis in Daddy Long Legs.

Hunter Foster and Jen Cody in Urinetown

Already mentioned, Jason Danieley and Marin Mazzie

I don't think a few of those have been in the same show at the same time, as OP stated.

Mimi and Talia Ryder in Matilda (Matilda and Hortensia). Also several siblings/twins as Tam i Miss Saigon through the years.

Also, Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter met when they were in the cast of Guys and Dolls and by the time they played Dorothy and the Lion in the RSC's Wizard of Oz they were married

When I saw The Wedding Singer on tour, the people playing Robbie and Julia were husband and wife. I had to look it up but their names were J. Michael Zygo and Jillian Zygo.
