Upbeat male/female duets?

Okay gang. I need any suggestions you may have for a musical theatre duet (for male/female). The song should be upbeat in message but doesn't have to be uptempo in meter.

Any thoughts?

You could try "Take Me or Leave Me".


Sort of fidget with the lyrics.

Rent's "Another Day"
"Book Report" from YAGMCB..it's more than a duet, but maybe it could work?

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Oh, as long as I'm thinking of Anything Goes, "Friendship" is definitely upbeat.

"It Takes Two" from Into the Woods
"Carried Away" from On the Town- kind of hokey but cute
"There Once Was a Man" from Pajama Game- lots of fun, very fast
"It's De-Lovely" from some Porter show and often put in Anything Goes, sometimes as a duet- because the world is less upbeat without Cole Porter

What initially sprang to my mind was "Friendship" or "You're the Top" from Anything Goes. I see it's been suggested though.
