Sarah Elizabeth Meehan: Aida and Radames.
Andrea Chilkiewicz: Aida and Radames. They died together and they found one another again, after so many lifetimes. It's cheesy, yes, but I adore that last moment on stage when you see the man and woman draw closer to one another in front of the tomb and you just know it will end happily for them.
