I can see how that would happen. He's just so charming, that he can almost cover it up. I think that because he wasn't always such an actor, if there wasn't a fairly good relationship offstage, it showed -- if we're talking romantic chemistry, anyway. But, even when I saw him do a 10 minute straight play, that was so improved. Granted, none of his relations were romantic, but he was so gooooood.
Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad had a very Broderick/Lane type chemistry.
Joe Mantello and John Benjamin Hickey in THE NORMAL HEART, damn they were good.
I'll second Jeremy Jordan and Laura Osnes.

I thought Danny Burstein and Beth Leavel in The Drowsy Chaperone was the best comedic duo I'd ever seen (still do). I saw her understudy and the timing was off. The two of them were absolutely perfect together.
Oh dear me, I posted in this thread seven years ago. I'm so embarrassed.
And for the sake of being on topic, Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp are the best on-stage pair I've ever seen, romantic characters and otherwise. Watching them work together is magical.
I thought LuPone and Boyd Gaines had excellent chemistry in Gypsy.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
