What a day for Broadway babies! Not one, but two bundles of joy are on the way for two theatre stars...who have both worked alongside Jonathan Groff? The battle for godfather dibs begins! (Joking.) Current Merrily We Roll Along star Lindsay Mendez and former Funny Girl star Lea Michele each separately announced their pregnancies today on Instagram. 

In Mendez' post, she wrote: "Our family band is expanding! And we are bursting with joy! J and I can’t wait to make Lucy a big sister and welcome our new baby this fall. I’m also so grateful for the unrelenting support of my @merrilyonbway producers and company. Together, they have made it so that I can happily work safely, all while growing this true Broadway baby." 

Mendez continued to say that she will be completing her run as planned in the Sondheim revival and encouraged fans to come see her (and the growing baby!) in the show in the coming months.

Michele's post featured a short-but-sweet caption to accompany a minimalist photo showing off her new bump: "Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed." 

We wish both families a smooth and joyous journey as they welcome their little ones!
