Tenor/Tenor duets

I'm looking for duets for a friend of mine and myself to do at my school's broadway concert. We're both high school Tenor 1s but we both can also go rather low if necessary. However, our chorus teacher doesn't like having more than 1 song from a broadway show done at this concert so the following shows are off limits:

The Little Mermaid
West Side Story
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Hair
Hairspray
The Lion King
Beauty and the Beast

Thanks!

How about "Lilly's Eyes" from SECRET GARDEN?

It's a 2 bari. duet, but maybe even, "It Would Have Been Wonderful" from NIGHT MUSIC?

love Lillie's eyes, it's overdone but what you own from rent is two tenors, little bird from man of la mancha

Not quite sure if these are always range appropriate, but:

The Proposal/The Night Was Alive TITANIC
Pretty Lady PACIFIC OVERTURES (trio but I think it could be done as a duet)
One More Walk Around the Garden CARMELINA (same as above)
Abbondanza THE MOST HAPPY FELLA (same as above)
Pretty Women SWEENEY TODD
I Can See It THE FANTASTICKS

If you want something totally unfamiliar to an American audience give a listen to the OCR of Lend Me A Tenor - a West End musical that didn't run long but featured a sensational first act duet for two tenors called "Be Yourself". I saw it twice in London and both times this duet stopped the show.

"The One I Love" from HELLO AGAIN
"You Walk With Me" from THE FULL MONTY (it has some lower notes in one of the parts)

"Agony," from INTO THE WOODS could be easily adapted if the key is too low for tenors.
