Families that Act Together

what does it mean to be upstaged?

We are certainly not going to call them “nepo babies” but in Bob’s Your Elf, we have two local parents — Courtney Michele and Brian McDonald— who team up with their 14-year-old daughters. And they wouldn’t be the first. Although there are many more examples of big screen family pairings, here are a few who have co-starred on stage:

Danny DeVito and Lucy DeVito: This real-life father and daughter starred together as father and daughter in the Broadway play I Need That.

Laurie Metcalf and Zoe Perry: They appeared together on Broadway in the play The Other Place where Perry played the daughter of Metcalf’s character.

Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher: Both mother and daughter made their Broadway debuts in the 1973 revival of the musical Irene. Reynolds had the title role, while a 16-year-old Fisher appeared in the ensemble.
