* RomanceOnTheSet/{{Theatre}}


Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Theatre]]
* Kim Crosby and Robert Westenberg met while appearing in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' (playing Cinderella and her Prince respectively). While the characters broke up by the end of the play, the actors married and remain happily so.
* Orfeh and Andy Karl, the original Paulette and Kyle the UPS guy of ''Theatre/LegallyBlonde: The Musical'', are HappilyMarried, after having their own romance on the set while performing in the musical adaptation of ''Film/SaturdayNightFever''.
* ''Theatre/{{Rent}}'' has multiple examples: Taye Diggs and Creator/IdinaMenzel are the most well-known, having met during the play's original run in 1996 (they got married in 2003 and divorced ten years later). Also, Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel) dated his makeup artist while filming TheFilmOfThePlay.
** In the play's 2007 Australian run, Anthony Callea (Mark) and Tim Campbell (Roger) became a couple, adding a fun layer to the HoYay between the characters. They married in 2014.
* Creator/WilliamHMacy and Creator/FelicityHuffman met during their stint with the Atlantic Theater Company and remain happily married to this day.
* Creator/CateBlanchett met her playwright/screenwriter husband Andrew Upton while she was performing in a production of ''The Seagull''. According to her, [[SlapSlapKiss "He thought I was aloof and I thought he was arrogant. It just shows you how wrong you can be, but once he kissed me that was that."]]
* Referenced by a [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespearean]] actor who was asked if he thought ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' had slept with Ophelia. He replied "Never on the West End, maybe on tour."
* Music/ArianaGrande met her now-former boyfriend Graham Phillips in ''Theatre/{{Thirteen}}''.
* Stephen [=McGann=] played Dominic in ''Shamrocks and Crocodiles'' at the National Theatre, where he met playwright Heidi Thomas. Over twenty years later, she's head screenwriter on ''Series/CallTheMidwife'', where he's playing Dr Turner. They're still happily married.
* In the original Broadway production of ''Theatre/ALittleNightMusic'', ingenues Victoria Mallory (Anne) and Mark Lambert (Henrik), whose characters realize at the end that they love each other and then run away together, snuck off between shows one day to get married. Not only is the marriage still strong, their daughter Ramona played her mother's role in a major Broadway revival!
* On the 25th anniversary tour of ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', barricade boys Jason Forbach (Feuilly) and Joe Spieldenner (Grantaire) began dating. When Forbach took over as Enjolras partway through the tour, showcasing the pair's chemistry, the delighted cries of Enjolras×Grantaire shippers could be heard 'round the world. [[http://instagram.com/p/iYCpZiK663/ They're now engaged.]]
* Stephanie J. Block (Elphaba) and Sebastian Arcelus (Fiyero) met when they were doing ''Wicked''. Their version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXZfIIboCLY As Long As You're Mine]] is thus very believable.
** The original Broadway cast of {{Theatre/Wicked}} was also subject to this, as Michelle Federer (Nessarose) met her future husband Norbert Leo Butz (Fiyero) while the production was ongoing.
* Creator/DamianLewis met his wife Creator/HelenMcCrory while doing a production of ''Five Easy Pieces'', where they played an adulterous couple. According to the director, they ended up sneaking off to jazz clubs during rehearsal, and the romance just continued. They were HappilyMarried with two children until her death in 2021.
* Sir Creator/MichaelRedgrave and his wife, Rachel Kempson (later Lady Redgrave), fell in love while co-starring in ''Flowers of the Forest'' at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1935. In his autobiography, Redgrave recollects that the scene required him to extinguish a lamp which failed to turn off on cue due to an electrical malfunction, and then turned off unexpectedly when he and Rachel had just embraced on stage. The audience laughed a little, but once the performance was over, he and Rachel fell into each other's arms in earnest. The couple married soon after and remained more or less HappilyMarried until Redgrave's death.
** Redgrave and Dame Edith Evans also had a brief affair during the production of ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt'' at the Old Vic in 1937, where he was playing Orlando and she, Rosalind. He was 28 (and married to Rachel) and she was 48. Redgrave later stated, "Edith always had a habit of falling in love with her leading men; with us it just went rather further." They broke up soon after production ended, but remained lifelong friends.
* Michele Pawk and John Dossett first met during the production of ''Hello Again'', a musical adaptation of ''Theatre/LaRonde''. They remain married to this day.
* Creator/JohnThaw and Sheila Hancock met in 1969 on the set of a London comedy ''So What About Love?'' She was married to fellow actor Alexander "Alec" Ross, and after Thaw professed his love to Hancock, she told him that she would not have an affair. After the death of her husband (from oesophageal cancer) in 1971, Thaw and Hancock married on 24 December 1973 in Cirencester, and he remained with her until his death in 2002 (also from oesophageal cancer).
* ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'':
** Anthony Ramos and Jasmine Cephas Jones, with Anthony apparently sneaking glances at her during rehearsals. They got engaged in 2019 but broke up in late 2021.
** Daveed Diggs and Emmy Raver-Lampman (who was in the chorus in the original Broadway show then played Angelica when it went on tour). They've been together since 2015.
* Creator/BilliePiper met her second husband Laurence Fox while performing together in the stage play ''Treats'' in 2006 and were married on December 31st 2007. They had two sons before divorcing in 2016.
* Ahn Jae-wook and Choi Hyun-joo met in 2014 when they starred in a South Korean production of ''Rudolf: Affaire Mayerling''. They married a year later.
* Creator/MerylStreep and Creator/JohnCazale fell in love on the set of ''Theatre/MeasureForMeasure'' in 1976 and remained absolutely devoted to each other until his death in 1978.

* Creator/YuumaUchida and Creator/RinaHidaka announced their marriage on New Year's Day 2024. This was a major shock to their fans as there had been zero hint they were in a relationship in spite of having worked together on several anime over the past 5 years, such as ''Literature/TheRyuosWorkIsNeverDone'', ''Anime/Tokyo24thWard'', the ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime: Scarlet Bond'' movie, and ''Literature/ShangriLaFrontier'', which was still airing at the time of the announcement. In addition, they had already been cast to play in the movie ''Bloody Escape: Jigoku no Tousou Geki'' as well as the anime adaptation of ''Literature/VillainessLevel99'', both of which would debut in January 2024 just a few days after the announcement.

* A-list stars Creator/YuukiKaji and Creator/AyanaTaketatsu shocked the entire anime world when they announced their marriage all of a sudden in June 23, 2019. Seiyuu fans are rife with speculation on when exactly their relationship started since the couple kept it under wraps extremely well (the first anime they both were cast in was ''Anime/StarDriver'' from 2010), but a good number of watchers are pretty sure that ''Literature/HighSchoolDxD'' must have played a role in it. Extra points for having Issei and Koneko as love interests ([[HaremGenre one of many for Issei]]) and the anime adaptation ongoing in one form or another from 2012-2018, as well as other ''[=DxD=]'' adaptations with voice acting such as video games, radio shows, and drama [=CDs=]. It's also certainly not a coincidence that the announcement was made on Taketatsu's 30th birthday.
