"Three Sunny Rooms" from RAGS is very sweet and funny. It's my top reccomendation.

"What If We Had Loved Like That" from Baby. It's perfect and beautiful!

Some of the choices for "Older Couple" songs make me sad. Exactly what is older? Not 20?

Since someone beat me to it with "Do We", I'll add "Do I Love You?" from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

Margo said:

"I Remember It Well" is from GIGI."

There's also a song with that title in the Weill-Lerner show LOVE LIFE.

[I'm wondering if people, like Margo, who capitalize the titles of shows are also CastRecL subscribers)

If your dad and his partner can do a soft shoe: "I Still Get Jealous" from High Button Shoes, which Nathan Lane and Faith Prince did in Jerome Robbins Broadway.

"Listen to the Rain on the Roof" from Follies

For fun, "Bronxville Darby and Joan" from SAIL AWAY. ("We're a dear old couple and we hate one another, and we've hated one another for a long lone time...") It was cut from the Broadway production but put back in for the London production. Coward's demo is included on the DRG reissue of the OBC.

At the other end of teh scale we have "An Ordinary Couple" from SOUND OF MUSIC.

I know people might wince at this, but "Her Is" from Pajama Game is another one.

If it isn't "oversold" it can be great.

EDIT: Since they both have very large ranges (and depending on how legit their voices are), how about a few verses of "Remember" from A Little Night Music?

I agree, Rain on the Roof, is a great duet for older people!

The first thing I thought of is "My Cup Runneth Over" from I Do, I do

"In The Morning No" by Cole Porter would be hysterical!

You beat me to it, Travis. It would be perfect. It's one of my favorite duets.

"I Remember It Well" from Gigi is adorable. I recommend that one.

In honor of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels closing, I will say "Like Zis, Like Zat".

'Boys and Girls (Like You and Me)' from Cinderella is a good one for an older couple.

"Too Many Mornings" from Follies
"I'll Never Be Jealous Again" from The Pajama Game
"Anything You Can Do" from Annie Get Your Gun
"I Can Live With That" from I Love You, you're Perfect, Now Change

alicia_11 sorry if I sounded condescending I am used to the solo (with the company singing at the end) version that Stritch made definite. It'd be interesting to see how it works out as a duet, and perfect for an older couple.

Yours Yours Yours from 1776**********************
All the Wasted Time from Parade (or This is Not Over Yet)

Please do something that works out of context. I strongly recommend the sexy and humorous BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.
Stay away from TIMELESS TO ME unless you're trying to pass yourselves off as a duet of grotesques.

"Do You Love Me?" (FIDDLER)
i like the "Timeless To Me" (HAIRSPRAY) idea...

"Let's Walk" from Light in the Piazza.

[sondheimboy2]

O.k., in the show, only the man is "older", but they have the voices, "My Heart is So Full of You" from Frank Loesser's "Most Happy Fella" is gorgeousness itself.

If they don't have big, legit voices, I second (or fourth or fifth at this point) "What If We Had Loved Like That" from "Baby"

The Pineapple duet from Cabaret is one of my favorites for older couples.
