Question:

Broadway Duets?

Does anyone know any good broadway duets with a girl (sorprano/alto) and guy (tenor,bass) that showcases the girl but has a balance if possible?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is a crazy mix of love songs, comedic songs, songs for older actors, songs for younger actors, fathers to daughters, sisters to brothers... you'll have to sort it out, but start with these pieces. I'm not sure which are more dependent on the female character.
