Emily Skinner and Alice Ripley have a whole CD with beautiful female duets on it. I really recommend it. You can probably find it on Amazon.
Keep the peace, take care of each other, and may you find your promised land.

The first one that pops to mind is 'In His Eyes' from Jekyll and Hyde.
Uhhh 'If Mamma Was Married' from Gypsy.
Wow. I really can't think of any...
If I think of any more I'll let you know.

Posted: 9/11/04 at 9:39pmMy favorite female duet is Sous Le Dome Epais from Lakme. But I have a feeling you're looking for something from Broadway - are you thinking something funny? something serious? what voice parts?
I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

What is this feeling?- Wicked (funny)

Posted: 9/14/04 at 8:19pmA terrific duet for two girls is "What You Don't Know About Women" from City of Angels.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

"Girls of the Night" - J&H.
"How The Other Half Lives"- TMM
"What is this Feeling?"- Wicked
"Marry the Man Today"- Guys and Dolls
I strongly suggest 2 and 4, but you could make Girls of the Night beautiful, if you could do it correctly.

When you have a general question like this, the "search" feature can be a really great resource.
