es? We’ve got warm fuzzies for all these Broadway relationships.

Guy and Girl from Once

Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work out, but there’s no reason not to ship this relationship.

Elphaba and Fiyero from Wicked

A beautiful love affair for the ages. #FiyeroandElphabaForever

Joanne and Maureen from Rent

A classic relationship that overcomes disagreements and a flood of difficult circumstances. Maureen and Joanne steal our hearts every time we hear “Take Me Or Leave Me”.

Cosette and Marius from Les Misérables

These two don’t let a war stand in the way of their love.

Link Larkin and Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray

A satisfying relationship between an underdog and a popular kid. We ship this wholeheartedly.

Tony and Maria from West Side Story

A star-crossed love that stands the test of time.

Christine Daae and Raoul from Phantom of the Opera

The most timeless of loves. (Though the Phantom is a viable option for a theatre boyfriend, we think Raoul is the healthier choice.)

Charlie Price and Lauren from Kinky Boots

Cute, funny, and a couple everyone can get behind, these two steal our hearts.

Eliza and Alexander Hamilton from Hamilton

Lovely and heartbreaking all at once, we can’t stop shipping Eliza and Alexander.

Wednesday and Lucas from The Addams Family Musical

Wednesday and Lucas reinforce the idea that though you may be different, you’ll always find your true love.
