Just last year, social media was abuzz over a video shared by Hamilton star Tamar Greene, who took a break from a concert rehearsal to croon Ragtime's "Wheels of a Dream" to his newborn son onstage. "This sweet surprise happened during rehearsal yesterday," he wrote in the viral post. "Singing to my son and him singing back was the most incredible moment of my life. I love you, AJ."

Those wheels have taken the family all the way to St. Louis, where Tamar will soon lead Ragtime as Coalhouse Walker, Jr. with his son, one-year-old Amari-Josiah Greene, appearing as Coalhouse Walker, III and his wife, Lindsay Roberts as the Sarah understudy.
