I'm trying to think of a good father/daughter mother/son (combined) Broadway song for my wedding and would LOVE some advice! Nothing tooooo sappy. And I already have Fiddler covered in the ceremony :) Would love some advice - thank you!!

I just went to a wedding where they played a medley of songs from Sweeney Todd when the cake came out. It was marvelous.

Running the risk of being called 'basic', I recently heard 'DEAR THEODOSIA' from Hamilton at a Batmitzvah and it worked well as a father-daughter dance.

Fiddler: Sunrise, Sunset.

 

My dance with my dad.

I always loved The Human Heart from Once On This Island, and the lyrics seem like they would fit well for parent/child.

It’s not Broad Leah but might daughter I danced to Baby Mine from Dumbo sungby Steve Tyrell. You could use Bette Midler version.

'You Matter To Me' from Waitress would be a good one!

this one might not be from a show, but it has the cinderella tie in and its BEAUTIFUL... my sister danced it with our dad/me and my brother at her wedding and there was not a single dry eye in the place. : "cinderella" by steven chapman
