#1Duets for two women
Posted: 3/13/11 at 6:05pmMy friend and I are trying to think up of great Broadway duets for two women.....songs already suggested and shot down: "Take Me or Leave Me" from "Rent", "In His Eyes" from "Jekyll and Hyde", and "Nowadays" from "Chicago". We're looking for two contrasting songs, comical as well as something serious or dramatic.

Posted: 3/13/11 at 6:11pmYou could do the obvious ones from Wicked - What Is This Feeling, For Good - or you could do The Apple Doesn't Fall from The Rink.

You might not want to look for the second one. In fact, don't.
But the first one, yes.

I'd check out anything that Emily Skinner and Alice Ripley have done on both of their duet albums. They did some great Broadway duets.
My favorites are:
"Perfect Strangers" (Mystery of Edwin Drood)
"I Know Him So Well" (Chess)
"I Will Never Leave You" and "Who Will Love Me As I Am?" (Side Show)
"Every Day A Little Death" (A Little Night Music)
"If Mamma Was Married" Gypsy
"Two's Comany" The Magic Show

In the recent tour of Dreamgirls there was a version of 'Listen' inserted as the eleven o'clock number which was sung as a duet between Effie and Denna!
I know you want specifically duets for girls but 'You're The Top' could easily be sung between two girls.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Posted: 3/14/11 at 1:03pmI think Perfect Strangers is a great suggestion because it's a little different; a romantic duet written for two women but not necessarily sung by two women.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

"Flight" by Craig Carnelia, which Sutton Foster sings as a duet with Megan McGinnis on her solo CD "Wish," is a GORGEOUS dramatic duet.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".

Both comic songs:
"I Could Always Go To You" from PERSONALS - music by Alan Menken; lyrics by David Crane, Marta Kauffman, and Seth Friedman
"Moving Right Along" by Jeff Blumenkrantz was written for two men, but I have heard it work with two girls as well!
Both dramatic songs:
Peas in a Pod
and (if you want to use the other part)
Another Winter in a Summer Town
Both from Grey Gardens!
