Hi all ~

I did a search and found a thread from January with ideas for M/M duets, but the list wasn't too long.

Do any of you have any duet ideas for a Tenor and Baritone(uptempo or ballads)?

Apparently, Nathan Lane and Gregory Hines did a fun medley of "girl songs" on thd 1995 Tony Award Telecast, but alas, I missed it. Anyone know what songs they did?

No, but "You're Nothing Without Me" from "City of Angels" is a nice choice.

I can get out my old 1995 Tonys tape and check, but off the top of my head, Hines and Lane did Dreamgirls, Broadway Baby, Let Me Entertain You, I Feel Pretty, A Boy Like That, Music and The Mirror...lots more. If I get a chance, I'll check. It was hysterical.

I have to agree with Dbur. I think that Lily's Eyes, from THE SECRET GARDEN, is the best male/male duet in the canon of musical theatre.

I just heard on XM Radio a duet called - You Walk With Me from the Full Monty. I don't know the musical and how it works in context, but what a beautiful song :)
