Fans Want Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka to Star Together on Broadway

With real life married couple Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley taking over the lead roles of Diana and Dan Goodman in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Next to Normal, we wanted to know what other Broadway couple you'd like to see share the stage. The votes are in, and a whopping 31% of fans want to see Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka duet. Burtka appeared opposite Bernadette Peters as Tulsa in the 2003 revival of Gypsy and also has a reccuring guest spot on Harris' hit TV series How I Met Your Mother. Harris' Broadway credits include Assassins, Proof and Cabaret and he will direct a star-studded production of Rent at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl this August.

Speaking of Rent...second place goes to Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs with 19% of the votes. The couple met while starring together in the 1996 Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning musical as frenemies Maureen and Benny. Diggs later joined his wife for a brief 2003 run as Fiyero while Menzel starred as Elphaba in the hit musical Wicked.

Third place goes to another couple who've previously shared the stage: Four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald and Will Swenson. The pair, who appeared together in the 2007 revival of 110 in the Shade, landed 12% of the votes.

I want Neil and David to star in Breakers, a Titan production.

We could do without Burtka, believe me Neil is enough.
