Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are dancing through life with their daughter.

After all, Harper got to join dad David for a thrillifying night on the red carpet at the New York City premiere of Wicked: For Good Nov. 17, and the 15-year-old—who was flying solo without twin brother Gideon—was ever the grown up young lady. 

Harper looked stunning in a light green, sequined ankle length dress which she paired with heels and a black furry coat for the cold NYC night. David also looked dapper in black dress pants and a white shirt that he completed with an iridescent tuxedo jacket.

While Harper and Gideon haven’t spent too much time in the spotlight, their dads have never shied away from gushing about their twins whenever they’ve had the chance. 

“I have never been more proud of anything in my entire life, and I suspect I never will,” Neil, 52, wrote about the duo on Instagram for their birthday last year. “My husband David and I marvel at their maturity, are wowed by their warmth, chuffed by their charm. We love them both unconditionally, and their hugs fill us with life.”

He also joked, “We don’t say any of this to them, obvs, or they’d recoil or leverage it to their advantage. But they’re not on Insta, so I’m free to speak honestly. They’ll never find out.”

David, 50, has also reflected on what it’s been like to see his children grow up before his eyes

"For me, it's really been about mourning your kids," David shared with E! News in 2022. "I'm in mourning of seeing them grow and seeing them clip their wings and letting them be their own people."

The Broadway star added, “It's wild to see the kids they've become. It's amazing and it's also a little sad."

But clearly he and Neil are doing what they can to raise the next generation of theater and movie fans with a trip to see Wicked: For Good. Keep reading to see all the stars who made it out for the premiere.
