This beautiful piece, from The Beautiful Game, perfectly illustrates the genius of Andrew Lloyd Webber — impossibly melodic, irresistibly pretty (and yes, pretty predictable, but in the best way), and absolutely lovely for listeners. It’s fun to sing — the little solo bits give both women a chance to shine, the unison lines are a nice chance to wor...
This Craig Carnelia duet is a hugecrowd-pleaser. It’s exceptionally well-written, both for the singers and the listener — the harmonies and the accompaniment create a gorgeous flood of sound that washes over the audience, so the words almost don’t matter. Plus, it’s surprisingly singable for both contemporary and legit voices. And that unison note ...
Break out your best facial expressions for “There’s Always a Woman”, a duet that was cut from Stephen Sondheim’s musical Anyone Can Whistle. Sung by two deliciously catty characters, this one is fun for the singers and the audience. As you’d expect from Sondheim, the lyrics are jaded, a little dark, and sure to get a laugh. Our favorite? “She almos...
“Take Him” overflows with that gorgeous vintage Broadway sound that’s characteristic of Rodgers and Hart. (Although, contemporary voices can also make it work, as evidenced here.) A classic duet for two females from the musical Pal Joey, this one shows off the individual voices, allows for some cute back-and-forth, and lends itself well to beautifu...
As with everything Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil touch, “I Still Believe” is irresistible. The lyrics establish the drama right away: “Last night I watched him sleeping / My body pressed to him / And then he started speaking / The name I heard him speak…was Kim.” This is one of those duets that’s so well-written that it goes straight to...
It’s a little strange to add a reprise to a list of concert duets for women (this one comes from The Full Monty), but this one is fantastic. It’s short, catchy, super easy to listen to — and it has just enough belting to impress a more classically-minded (read: old) audience without irritating them. When you’re planning a concert, this is another g...
“Perfect Strangers” a bit of a unicorn in the post-1980 musical theater era — it’s written for legit singers, and it’s sung by a woman and a woman playing a man. This is worth explaining to the audience in advance to explain lines such as, “Too near to touch you! My dearest Ned, how much you mean to me”. The duet, which is from Rupert Holmes’ The M...
Surprise your audience with a folksy twist with “We Make a Beautiful Pair,” a charming duet from the musical Shenandoah (music by Gary Geld, lyrics by Peter Udell). It has an Annie Get Your Gun vibe, and it’s not too twangy, so it should sit well with most anti-country listeners. Plus, it’s extremely fun to sing, even for legit or contemporary sing...
With its impossibly cute mother/daughter vibe and classic harmonies, “Two Peas in a Pod” from Grey Gardens is an adorable duet for an older and a younger woman. This one is sure to charm the audience, particularly if the signers can commit to the camp — bonus points if you can add in a little dance break! It’s also unexpectedly cute with two younge...
A lovely combination of beautiful harmonies and cute humor, this is one of those female duets that charms audiences in the beginning — and then delivers a fun twist. (Plus, how much do we love the word “bullshit” in the middle of a song?) As a bonus, it doesn’t require much staging.
Apr 7, 2023 · Who doesn’t love a good duet? There have been many, many fabulous musical theatre duets written for female characters over the past century and beyond. For this post, I decided to zero in on songs from the last 30-35ish years (I assume folks already know classic shows like Gypsy and Chicago by now).
- Lucius: “Two of Us On the Run” Lucius’ 2014 debut Wildewoman contains many a shiver-inducing harmony, but few are as potent as those on “Two of Us On the Run.”
- First Aid Kit: “Emmylou” Sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg, a.k.a. First Aid Kit, have an entire catalogue of “amazing girl duets”—melodious love songs, Loretta-inspired ballads and bluegrass-tinged mountain songs—but this is one of their finest.
- Oh Pep! : “What’s The Deal With David?” “What’s The Deal With David? ,” a standout from Aussie folk-pop pair Oh Pep!’ s new record I Wasn’t Only Thinking About You…, sounds like an excited phone call between best friends where one is eager to share all the details about a potential new beau, in this case, “David.”
- Tegan and Sara: “Back In Your Head” Tegan and Sara are the reigning queens of female-fronted duos, at least in the indie world, and they’ve cranked out numerous hits in their 20 years as a band.
