Favorite Same-Sex Duets

Arguably the most famous ones are the male/female kind, but the other kind is often more interesting for me. I'll start with two, one male and one female:

"You're Nothing Without Me" from CITY OF ANGELS
"Little Me" from LITTLE ME

---

Impossible (Cinderella)
What's In It For You? (Tenderloin)
Hey, Look Me Over (Wildcat)
Tippy Tippy Toes (Wildcat)
Take Me Along (Take Me Along)

Pretty Women
Golden Days (The Student Prince)
Every Day a Little Death
One More Kiss
Ohio (Wonderful Town)
With You on My Arm (La Cage)
If Mama Was Married
Class
Nowadays
Brush Up Your Shakespeare

There was a beautiful song written for Keye Luke to sing to his son in Flower Drum Song called My Best Love but it had to be cut because Luke just couldn't sing it. When City Opera did Cinderella 15 or 20 years ago, they interpolated it as a duet for the Prince and his father. It was gorgeous and I was sad they didn't use it in the current revival.

I can think of quite a few that serve their purpose in their shows but I wouldn't call favorites -- It Would Have Been Wonderful and Poor Jud Is Dead, for example. And there are many in the works of G&S (as well as opera) but that's really beyond most people's interest here I think.

I love these:
"In His Eyes" - Jekyll and Hyde
"I Am The One" (and its reprise) - Next To Normal
"You Love Who You Love" - Bonnie and Clyde
"When I Drive" - Bonnie and Clyde
"Stuck Together (Strange But True)" - Catch Me If You Can (this one is just a lot of fun)

Sixteen Going On Seventeen Reprise - The Sound of Music
Stepsisters' Lament- Cinderella
It's a Bore- Gigi

Wallflower. Liza & Chita in the Rink.

Secondary Characters - [title of show]

Just finished watching The Slipper and the Rose, so I'm adding "What a Comforting Thing to Know" to the list!

All for the Best - Godspell

(Sorry if I missed seeing this in the list already!)

And in a bit of a switch

Two Kinsmen (Drood) Although one is sung by a women, she plays a man.
Perfect Strangers (Drood) The same character above is a man, but the song is sung by two women.
