Hi all! I'm requesting some suggestions for Broadway duets. My voice teacher is planning for our fall recital, and we're doing duets. I'm going to make her a mix CD of Broadway duets that she can listen to, and purchase the sheet music if she likes it. Any suggestions? A few things she said she wants:

-She looks for good and somewhat challenging harmonies.
-Obviously the sheet music needs to be available.
-Each part should be featured about equally.
-We have a shortage of men (I think its me and one other guy) so the more girl/girl songs or non-gender specific songs that we have the better. However, boy/girl ones are still welcomed!

Thanks so much for your help!

Look into Sideshow for girl/girl duets.

Also look into Chicago, Sweet Charity, and Grey Gardens.
