21 Times Theatre Couples Have Shared the Stage

For as long as there's been showmances, there have been actors who shared the stage together who are also a couple in real life. And when that happens, it's a theatrical event. This season is no exception, with real-life couple Phillipa Soo and Steven Pasquale starring in High Spirits at New York City Center, and Andrew Barth Feldman and Helen J Shen playing romantic robots opposite each other in Maybe Happy Ending. Then across the pond in the West End, Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney are having some fun at the Kit Kat Club, playing Sally Bowles and the Emcee, respectively, in Cabaret.

Below, see the many times real-life couples have performed together on the stage. And see if you can identify the many who met while doing a show (such as Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, who met while doing The Music Man and subsequently ended their prior relationships to pursue one with each other). For theatre actors, it seems there's nothing more romantic than performing together.
