Singing is better with a friend!

Check out these amazing duets from hit musicals, why not try performing them with a friend?

  • All I've Ever Known - Hadestown

    I was alone so long

    I didn't even know that I was lonely

    Out in the cold so long

    I didn't even know that I was cold

    Turned my collar to the wind

    This is how it's always been


    All I've ever known is how to hold my own

    All I've ever known is how to hold my own

    But now I wanna hold you, too


    You take me in your arms

    And suddenly there's sunlight all around me

    Everything bright and warm

    And shining like it never did before

    And for a moment I forget

    Just how dark and cold it gets


    All I've ever known is how to hold my own

    All I've ever known is how to hold my own

    But now I wanna hold you

    Now I wanna hold you

    Hold you close

    I don't ever wanna have to let you go


    Now I wanna hold you, hold you tight

    I don't wanna go back to the lonely life


    I don't know how or why

    Or who am I that I should get to hold you?

    But when I saw you all alone against

    The skies like I'd known you all along


    I knew you before we met

    And I don't even know you yet

    All I know is your someone I have always known


    All I know is you're someone I have always known

    And I don't even know you

    Now I wanna hold you

    Hold you close

    I don't ever wanna have to let you go


    Suddenly the sunlight

    Bright and warm


    Suddenly I'm holding the world in my arms


    Say that you'll hold me forever

    Say that the wind won't change on us

    Say that we'll stay with each other

    And it will always be like this


    I'm gonna hold you forever

    The wind will never change on us

    Long as we stay with each other


    Then it will always be like this


    Music & Lyrics by Anais Mitchell

  • I Can do Without You - Calamity Jane

    CALAMITY:

    In the Summer you're the Winter

    In the finger you're the splinter

    In the banquet you're the stew

    Say, I could do without you

    WILD BILL:

    In the garden you're the gopher

    In the Levi's you're the loafer

    Like an overturned canoe

    Well, I can do without you

    CALAMITY:

    You can go to Philadelphia

    Take a hack to Hackensack

    Hey, I'll never ring a bell fer yer

    Or yell fer yer to come back

    WILD BILL:

    In the question you're the why

    In the ointment you're the fly

    CALAMITY:

    Though I know some things are indispensible

    Like a buck or two

    If there's one thing I can do without

    I can do without you

    WILD BILL:

    In the barrel you're a pickle

    In the goldmine you're a nickel

    You're the tack inside my shoe

    Yes, I can do without you

    CALAMITY:

    In my bosom you're a dagger

    You're a mangy carpetbagger

    In the theatre you're the 'boo'

    I can do without you

    WILD BILL:

    You got charms, they ain't bewitchin' me

    You've a face no one would paint

    CALAMITY:

    I got the darndest itch in me

    To be wherever you ain't

    WILD BILL:

    In the bullfrog you're the croak

    CALAMITY:

    In the forest, poison oak

    WILD BILL:

    Though I know somethings are necessary

    My half-pint buckaroo

    If there's one thing I can do without I can do without.....

    CALAMITY: You're a knothead!

    WILD BILL: You're a faker!

    CALAMITY: You're a bonehead!

    WILD BILL: Troublemaker!

    BOTH: I can do without you!


    Music by Sammy Fain

    Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster

  • Defying Gravity - Wicked

    [GLINDA, spoken]

    Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once?

    Instead of flying off the handle!

    I hope you're happy


    [sung]

    I hope you're happy now

    I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever

    I hope you think you're clever


    [ELPHABA, spoken]

    I hope you're happy


    [sung]

    I hope you're happy, too

    I hope you're proud how you

    Would grovel in submission, to feed your own ambition


    [GLINDA & ELPHABA]

    So though I can't imagine how

    I hope you're happy right now


    [GLINDA, spoken]

    Elphie, listen to me, just say you're sorry!


    [sung]

    You can still be with the wizard

    What you've worked and waited for

    You can have all you ever wanted


    [ELPHABA, spoken]

    I know


    [sung]

    But I don't want it

    No, I can't want it anymore

    Something has changed within me

    Something is not the same

    I'm through with playing by the rules

    Of someone else's game

    Too late for second-guessing

    Too late to go back to sleep

    It's time to trust my instincts

    Close my eyes and leap!


    It's time to try defying gravity

    I think I'll try defying gravity

    And you can't pull me down


    [GLINDA]

    Can't I make you understand

    You're having delusions of grandeur?


    [ELPHABA]

    I'm through accepting limits

    'Cause someone says they're so

    Some things I cannot change

    But 'til I try, I'll never know!

    Too long I've been afraid of

    Losing love I guess I've lost

    Well, if that's love

    It comes at much too high a cost!


    I'd sooner buy defying gravity

    Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity

    And you can't pull me down


    [spoken]

    Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do, together!


    [sung]

    Unlimited

    Together, we're unlimited

    Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been

    Glinda, dreams the way we planned 'em


    [GLINDA]

    If we work in tandem


    [GLINDA & ELPHABA]

    There's no fight we cannot win

    Just you and I, defying gravity

    With you and I defying gravity


    [ELPHABA]

    They'll never bring us down!


    [spoken]

    Well, are you coming?


    GLINDA, sung]

    I hope you're happy

    Now that you're choosing this


    [ELPHABA]

    [spoken]

    You, too


    [sung]

    I hope it brings you bliss


    [GLINDA & ELPHABA]

    I really hope you get it

    And you don't live to regret it

    I hope you're happy in the end

    I hope you're happy my friend


    [ELPHABA]

    So if you care to find me

    Look to the western sky!

    As someone told me lately

    "Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"

    And if I'm flying solo

    At least I'm flying free

    To those who ground me

    Take a message back from me


    Tell them how I am defying gravity!

    I'm flying high, defying gravity!

    And soon, I'll match them in renown

    And nobody in all of Oz

    No wizard that there is or was

    Is ever gonna bring me down!


    [GLINDA]

    I hope you're happy


    [CITIZENS OF OZ]

    Look at her! She's wicked!

    Get her!


    [ELPHABA]

    Bring me down!


    [CITIZENS OF OZ]

    No one mourns the wicked!

    So we've got to bring her...


    [ELPHABA]

    Oh!


    [CITIZENS OF OZ]

    ...down!


    Music by Stephen Schwartz
