I need suggestions for a musical theatre quarter for two baritones/basses, but one tenor would work as well, and two mezzo-sopranos that can sing alto and soprano as well. It is for a Thespian IE. Thanks!

quartet from chess is 3 men and one woman so that wouldn't work.

Listen to Ghost Quartet! it's 2 men and 2 woman throughout much of the show.

The entire score of JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL... is arranged for a quartet, two men and two women. The songs weren't originally theatre songs but the vocal arrangement is stellar.

What about the counterpoint quartet from FOLLIES "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow / Love Will See Us Through?" Not sure what the actual vocal types are but thats another two men two women.

There are quartets for men and women - "Remember" - in "A Little Night Music".  (Edit...oops...I just relistened to these songs.  They are actually quintets.)

"Dear One" from Kiss of the Spiderwoman is stunning quartet between two men and two women that I think you can make fit your required voice parts. It's a very beautiful song sung by two male characters in prison who are dreaming of their women on the outside (one his lover, the other his mother).


Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Not sure if it fits your specified vocal ranges but "Without love" from Hairspray features two men and two women.
