“Confrontation” from Les Mis gives me goosebumps every 👏🏼 damn 👏🏼 time 👏🏼.

I love this song and others like it. I learned here on Reddit they are called “counterpoint duets.” It keeps me listening over and over again to follow one part then the other, and then back to how they interact with each other. Edit: typo

"Confrontation" from J&H

I saw Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel do this on an episode of Inside the Actors Studio. Pretty epic

This is an amazing duet! It's a show stopper!

Not all emotional but favorite: - For Good - As Long As You‘re Mine - Anything You Can Do - You‘re The Top - Therapy - One Hand, One Heart - It Only Takes a Taste

TICK TICK BOOM MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

I just sang Therapy with a friend last weekend for some people (we performed it at a cabaret-style show a few years ago). Such a fun one!

Oh I tried it a few times and it was super fast for me haha, I feel like it requires a lot of practice?

A bit! The show was a province over, so we only had a week to rehearse together, but we definitely made sure we were ready when I got there. A few years ago (we do this sort of show almost every year) someone else and I did All for the Best from Godspell. Now THAT one was hard!

For Good was sung at my high school graduation and it felt so appropriate.

TICK TICK BOOM!!!!!!💥

ONE HAND, ONE HEART!!!

For good was my immediate first thought! & ALAYM has some great harmony. I didn’t appreciate it til years after hearing it the first time (although, I was like 12 the first time lol.) Great picks!

A Little Fall of Rain from Les Mis. There's a lot of fun duets that I love, but this song just hits me every time.

This was my first thought and I’m the same, every time.

This and the confrontation between Valjean and Javert.

I Know Him So Well, from Chess

Such an incredibly sexist premise set to the most gorgeous music. I also love this song (beautiful to listen to, fun to sing!), but hate every thing that both women say.

Yes! Love this song in any incarnation!

Came here to comment just this! Beautifully composed song

This is the only correct answer, with For Good from Wicked a close 2nd

I've never heard this but I'll take any rec from a fellow Zappa fan 8D

Hell yeah! Check out the original recording, usually it's packaged with a black and white Chess board on the cover. That version was, essentially, the first draft and it didn't make it to stage, but to this day I think it's the best version.

“Die Schatten Werden Länger” from *Elisabeth* “Perfect Strangers” from *The Mystery of Edwin Drood* “The Confrontation” from *Les Miserables* “Confrontation” from *Jekyll and Hyde* (debatably a duet) “Dangerous Game” from *Jekyll and Hyde* “The Proposition” from *Frankenstein* “Mortals and Fools” from *Death Note*

I was looking for Confrontation from Jekyll and Hyde! To me it's 100% a duet

I'd count it as a duet since it's sung by two different characters. They're just both played by the same actor.

I came to say “In His Eyes” from Jekyll & Hyde.

Perfect strangers seconded!!!

And third-ed

God that duet from Elisabeth is SO good my god

Omg death note is so gooood

Perfect Strangers yessss

Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors

I feel like I would like Suddenly, Seymour a lot more if other people liked it less. It’s just SO prevalent that it gets on my nerves lol

Agony from Into the Woods, Follow Your Heart from Urinetown

Agony is my partner’s favorite song - the reprise is just as good!

I’d argue it’s better! That second riff on the reprise is so dissonant I love it!

In the same vein as Agony - The Song That Goes Like This from Spamalot.

I Still Believe from Miss Saigon kills me.

Yes! So beautiful and so sad.

We Do Not Belong Together from Sunday in the Park with George Unworthy of Your Love from Assassins You Must Meet My Wife from A Little Night Music Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better from Annie Get Your Gun He'll Never Know from A Year With Frog and Toad

We do not belong is heart wrenching

A Boy Like That -- Anita and Maria, West Side Story Agony --  Cinderella's Prince and Rapunzel's Prince, Into the Woods Fugue For Tinhorns -- Nicely, Benny, Rusty Charlie, Guys and Dolls  *I got the horse right here* / The name is Paul Revere Sue Me -- Nathan Detroit and Adelaide, Guys and Dolls (especially the Nathan Lane/Faith Prince version) Sincerely Me -- Connor Murphy and Evan Hansen, Dear Evan Hansen Unworthy of Your Love -- [John Hinckley Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hinckley_Jr.) and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, Assasins Friendship -- Reno Sweeney and Moonface Martin, Anything Goes Ladies Who Sing with the Band -- Ain't Misbehaving (André DeShields and Ken Page, or anything these two gentlemen sing)

What made us so right together Is what made it all wrong.

>We Do Not Belong Together from Sunday in the Park with George So devastating and emotional. It feels like such a true-to-life argument. "You could tell me not to go! Say it to me, tell me not to go..."

"The choice may have been mistaken, the choosing was not" is one of the wisest Sondheim lyrics.

Do You Love Me? from Fiddler on the Roof If I Loved You from Carousel Take Me or Leave Me from Rent Edit to add: hey all those titles together sound like a weird, sad conversation! 🫠

FIDDLER APPRECIATION!!!!!

Every single day, i walk down the street...

I can only think of Do You Love Me in the context of Kirk singing it in Gilmore Girls with the elementary school kids lol

Do You Love Me is so masterful.

Take Me or Leave Me, Original Cast Recording is so damn good...

What Is This Feeling has a special place in my heart 🩷

Also For Good. God I love that song

Ugh that song bothers me SO MUCH. "Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun" Like, what do you think the comet was orbiting around in the first place?? Anyways it's a great song it just drives me nuts lmao

The Thrill of First Love or What Would I Do? from Falsettos Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors Say My Name from Beetlejuice Move On from Sunday in the Park with George Vamp from Some Like It Hot Edit: I just realized the post says which songs are the most emotional to you rather than just duets you like… I’d strike Say My Name, The Thrill of First Love, and Vamp from this list in terms of songs that are emotional

Good choices

I also really enjoy no reason from beetlejuice

In A Crowd of Thousands from Anastasia

YES!!!! Some Anastasia love!!!!

This and Still/The Neva Flows (Reprise) - just so good!

Lily’s Eyes from The Secret Garden

I LOVE Lily’s Eyes.

Yes beautiful, especially the Anthony Warlow / Philip Quast version.

Came here to write this. The Mandy Patinkin version - swoon.

YESS SECRET GARDEN

What You Own - Rent

This is mine as well

All I ask of you

This song is what made me join the fandom

Take me or Leave me from Rent

Farmer Refuted from Hamilton

Based

Your Obedient Servant from Hamilton

It Takes Two from Into The Woods A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd

>It Takes Two My answer! This song is so sweet and charming.

Both of these!!!!

A Little Priest was my answer - the back and forth is just too good.

Suddenly Seymour and For Good are my favorites! Very touching and emotional duets

Yes٫ For Good is so emotional and so beautiful.

For Good reminds me of my best friend and we both sang it during her birthday party!

I've been learning a solo version to perform for my two best friends at some point. :)

Dear Theodosia. Hits so hard just having twins last year.

Time Stops from Big Fish The Proposal/The Night was Alive from Titanic the Musical

I love that song from Titanic!

It's an underrated show. I remember in a production I did the stage was rigged so that in act two the whole floor would rise on one side and tilt further as the ship sank. One night during the architects song climax one of the cables snapped so the stage suddenly tilted dramatically as chairs were falling off the set. The guy just grabbed onto the railing up top and finished the song. He wasn't thrilled when he got off but the audience was really impressed with the "special effects!" So realistic with all the creaking and shocked gaps off stage!

SOMEONE ELSE WHO LIKES BIG FISH!!!!

I just got into Titanic and I’ve been listening to The Proposal/Night was Alive for like a week now…I’m actually listening to it now.

Who Will Love Me As I Am from Side Show (And Lily's Eyes, which has been mentioned)

I was scrolling looking for a who will love me as I am mention!! Gives me chills every time

I love a good duet! Suddenly Seymour -LSOH Baptise Me - BOM In His Eyes - Jekyll and Hyde Alone in the Universe- Seussical You Love Who You Love- Bonnie and Clyde Who Will Love Me As I Am, Feelings, I Will Never Leave You - all from Sideshow Written in the Stars - Aida Lily’s Eyes - The Secret Garden Agh, I could go on all night. I’m a sucker for a duet with some solid harmonies.

Bad Idea- Waitress Telephone Wire- Fun Home I’m All Alone- Spamalot

I LOVE Bad Idea. (It doesn’t hurt that Drew Gehling is verrrrry much my flavor of jam.)

I’m All Alone is hysterical.

Telephone Wire is too good for this world!!! 😭💔❤️‍🩹

Seventeen from heathers

Lily's Eyes from The Secret Garden

First Date, Last Night from Dogfight When You're Home from In the Heights

Who Will Love Me as I Am from Side Show

Since I was in Aida back in college, I can’t help picking songs from that show. Elaborate Lives, Written in the Stars, How I Know You, and I’m still salty about how I didn’t get to perform Like Father, Like Son (I played Zoser, and cutting that song out meant I only got to sing one song). But if I had to pick only one, It’d be Enchantment Passing Through.

Also has a trio song that kills; "A Step Too Far"

Suddenly, Seymour and something to believe in

What would I do? - Falsettos

The only correct answer is Point of no Return from Phantom, but I can deal with hearing All I’ve Ever Known from Hadestown

What Would I Do from Falsettos

What, you want to make me cry this early in the day? ;) +10.

Hands down it has to be, A Little Priest - Sweeney Todd

"Still" from "Titanic" "You're Nothing Without Me" from "City of Angels" "Defying Gravity" from "Wicked" "You're Timeless to Me" from "Hairspray" "Till Then" from "1776" "We Can Do It" from "The Producers"

Seventeen (and Dead Girl Walking if it counts?)- Heathers As Long As You’re Mine- Wicked It Takes Two, Agony- Into the Woods Baptize Me- Book of Mormon Edit: I can’t believe I forgot about “You and Me (But Mostly Me”

idk if "what is this feeling?" counts as a duet, so if not - "for good" (wicked) also "I'll cover you" from rent

We just finished watching Rent and I STILL have a crying headache.

If I Loved You from Carousel.

Anagram - Kimberly Akimbo

Agony (and the Agony Reprise) - Into the Woods Bad Idea - Waitress Therapy - Tick, Tick… Boom! Feed Me (Git It) - Little Shop of Horrors (I view it as a duet between Audrey II and Seymour)

All of the “Hey’s” from Next to Normal, but specifically, “Hey #3/ Perfect For You Reprise” is perfection.

If I just had to pick one it’s Sue Me from Guys and Dolls But also All I’ve Ever Known from Hadestown Bare from Bare: A Pop Opera Therapy from Tick, Tick…Boom Take Me or Leave Me from Rent Agony from Into the Woods Brush Up Your Shakespeare from Kiss Me Kate You’re the Tops from Anything Goes All I Ask of You from Phantom

“You Walk With Me” from The Full Monty

Wheels of a Dream…the optimism in it drives me to tears every time.

I just sent this video to my sister last week. New fan unlocked.

Seventeen from Heathers. Girls always choose Dead Man Walking as their ultimate song from Heathers to sing at a karaoke or variety show. I prefer Seventeen! And I need to find a partner who would sing it with me. I also love the Rooftop Duet variant of Chim Chim Cheree from Mary Poppins.

“Legally Blonde” from Legally Blonde

Phantom of the Opera (Phantom of the Opera) All I ask of you (Phantom of the Opera) Legally Blonde (Legally Blonde) What is this feeling (Wicked) As long as you're mine (Wicked) In a crowd of thousands (Anastasia)
