Looking for a female musical duet.#0

Hi my name is Lois and me and my friend, Nicole, are doing a musical duet for our district competition for high school theater. We would be internally grateful if we could have a bit of help. We don't know where to look at all!!! What we know already is Nicole has an AMAZING voice, where as mine is good too, but I have been more focused on charterazation and blocking. We are primarily looking for a duet to fit both these attributes. Good characterzation, but again if possible with good vocals. If you could get back to me on this messageboard, or if need be, my myspace link is. www.myspace.com/loloice Thanks again it is much appriciated.

Listen to the albums that Emily Skinner and Alice Ripley put out together. There are ALL TYPES of female duets that they do on those 2 albums. Certainly one should fit your individual talents.

I think there are some female duets in volume two of the Musical Theatre Anthology Duets.

The thing that really popped into my mind was "Jealousy Duet" from The Threepenny Opera.

"What you Don't Know About Women" from CITY OF ANGELS, hands down. It's one of the best female duets ever written.

I recommend "Bosom Buddies" from "Mame", you can work in lots of characterization and show off some good vocal skills.

"Bosom Buddies" is good for characterization, but you need to be of a certain age to pull that off and make it effective.

"What you Don't Know About Women" could be easily acieved by college-age girls. It has killer vocals as well as room for outstanding character.

"The Stepsister's Lament", "Marry the Man Today", and "What you Don't Know About Women" are all great for comedy, and "A Boy Like That-I Have A Love", "My Own Best Friend", "Nowadays", and "Class" are all good for something with more of a punch.

Why not make "Anything You Can Do" from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN a female-female duet?!

I also once saw a performance of "Adelaide's Lament" (GUYS AND DOLLS) as a duet, the other playing "the patient" (=Adelaide) and the other playing a doctor singing all the "In other words..." parts. Worked surprisingly well!

Others:

My Friend - THE LIFE
Take Me Or Leave Me - RENT (too risqué?)
I Still Believe - MISS SAIGON
Who Will Love Me As I Am? - SIDE SHOW
Leave Me Alone - SIDE SHOW
I Will Never Leave You - SIDE SHOW

I hate to reccomend Wicked...but...
For Good is probably a good choice.
