Musical Theatre Duets

Hey, I have a cabaret evening with my school coming up this january and i would like to do a duet from a musical with one of my best friends (we're both males) and was wondering if you know any good songs out there that we could do? I'm a bit stuck!

I'm a baritone and he's a tenor if that helps!

Many Thanks! :biggrin:

I'm going to have a think about this, though I'm not as sure with male ranges as I am with female :smile:

Ones that come to mind quickly:
That Guy from Blood Brothers
Confrontation from Les Mis (maybe some of the students songs like Drink With Me would work as duets...possibly)
I think there's some stuff in the Producers that is male/male duets.
All for The Best from Godspell

Will update if I think of more

Thanks very much! I was thinking about 'That Guy' from blood brothers but wasn't totally sure about it, oh and yeah, the producers would be good! I'll look at stuff from that!

Isn't "That Guy" sort of high for a baritone? Not sure though.

Second "Les Mis" songs...also what about "Gaston" from "Beauty and the Beast"? Sung by Gaston himself plus Lefou. Great song there :biggrin:

Oooh er, interesting!

How about "It would've been wonderful" from A little night music. Very fun! Have to have quite a good acting ability though...

"The river won't flow" from Song for a New World, though it's more of high baritone and tenor...

"Guys and Dolls" from Guys and Dolls (duh!) or there's also "Fugue for Tinhorns" but you'd need another male....

"Sorry-Grateful" from Company

OMG, just thought of a fantastic one:

"Agony" from Into the Woods. Really fun.

"Mushnik and Son" from Little Shop of Horrors, though thats less of a duet than the others I've suggested. Also there's "Now (it's just the Gas)"

If I think of more I'll post!

"To Life" from Fiddler on the Roof. Great song - Tevye and Lazar Wolf.

Great list Mikey_B :biggrin:

How about the duet from Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers"? It is to guys what "The Flower Duet" from Lakme is to sops.

What about "No contest" from Chess. It's a bit more pop-rock than true music theatre but it totally rocks anyway. (Even if they did decide to cut it out of our school production).
Alternatively try "Alone in the Universe" from Seussical the Musical. No, I'm not kidding, it's brilliant. Just transcribe it down and it's good to go.

I'd recommend you transpose this one down too! I have heard some excruciating performances!
