I'm looking for something funny to choreograph for 2 teenage girls as a musical theatre duet. Neither one wants to play a male role. Any suggestions would be much appreciated -- I'm running out of time!!!
"There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This" from Sweet Charity might be good. Easy to sing, funny number, lots of dancing. It can easily be done with two or three girls.
Almost anything from Side Show "The More You Ruv Someone" from Avenue Q "For Good" from Wicked "What is this feeling?" from Wicked "I know him so well" from Chess "Some things are meant to be" from Little Women "Take Me or Leave Me" from Rent "Hear My Song" from Songs for a New World (it's a stretch but it could work) "You Rule My World(Reprise)" from The Full Monty "A Boy Like That/I Have A Love" from West Side Story
you could probably do "what is the feeling?" from Wicked and just leave out the chorus in the background. That's definately a funny song to choreograph and sing

well, you could do: "hammer to fall" from we will rock you, which would be interesting and funny, it is a brilliant song. "My philosophy" From your a good man charlie Brown, also very amusing. "My child" from Blood brothers "Got love" from zanna.. don't! "how the other half of me lives" from thoroughly modern millie andd.... "you can't stop the beat" from hairspray I would lay off the wicked songs... theyre sort of untouchable uunless your going to do them really really good!
Desiree, beat me to the punch, "The Grass Is Always Greener" from WOMAN OF THE YEAR definitely beats most of the numbers mentioned on this thread. There's also "Best Friends" from THE WILD PARTY and "Bossom Buddies" from MAME which was mentioned already.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
Kinda OT: but I also need some duet songs for two females. And these suggestions are great.
But does anyone know the song list of the concert that Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald did at the Hollywood Bowl and are doing this summer at the Ravinia? My friend and I have pretty much the exact same ranges as the two of them and have already worked on Happy Days/Get Happy
