I let this one go for a while to let someone who might actually know the answer get it, but since it doesn't appear there is anyone, here goes the Internet search.
Wow, that was still pretty tough.
The song was from "Me and Juliet" and the TV show was "Victory at Sea."

That's exactly right, though since Durwood brakes for WWII documentaries it's fairly well known around our house. In fact I cracked him up last time we were in SF. We were showing a tourist friend Fisherman's Wharf when Durwood spotted an old WWII sub on display. He was entranced, and I broke into a chorus of "No Other Love", the song they always played when shirtless sailors roamed the decks of their ships.
I've never actually seen Me and Juliet but I'm told it by those who have that it deserves better than being R&H's forgotten play.
Anyway, you're up, oh vegetative one.

Let's go with a simple question about my show! In the current incarnation of "Little Shop," one of the lead cast members is closely related to another performer who was recently hot stuff on Broadway.
Name them and their relationship.

The other performer is related to the guy who plays Seymour (or at least did when the new version opened -- I never see anything about the show, but I doubt his contract was so short that he could have left yet).

I feel like I'm cheating since I never heard of any of these people.
Hunter Foster plays Seymore. His sister is Sutton Foster and his wife is Jennifer Cody. I'm guessing Sutton Foster was the one you were looking for, since Jennifer appears to have a replacement actress in all of her shows.
Sorry, SS, but I live in San Jose so I don't get to see many Broadway shows these days...

No need to apologize. They made a deal out of it during the Tonys the year Sutton won for "Millie" and he was snubbed for "Urinetown," so I thought that would have made it more common knowledge with theater geeks. I guess I'm just geekier than most.
You're up!

Okay, the song was "This is My Song" The movie was "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss". The pop singer who has appeared on Broadway is Petula Clark. The song was written by Charlie Chaplin.
I'm throwing this open to anyone who wants to play.
