Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think it's best for you to sing a duet that's specifically written for two females, otherwise, the majority of songs are soppy love songs between males and females!

How about 'I Know Him So Well' from Chess!? In this duet, two women – Svetlana, the Russian chess champion's estranged wife, and Florence, his mistress – express their bittersweet feelings for him and at seeing their relationships fall apart!.

The duet was number one in the UK for four weeks in 1985 when released as a single by Elaine Paige (as Florence) and Barbara Dickson (as Svetlana)!. There are some lovely close harmonies and it's really impressive as well as an audience pleaser!.

Otherwise here's a list:

'Marry The Man Today' – Guys and Dolls
What Did I Ever See In Him!? – Bye, Bye Birdie
Class – Chicago
A Boy Like That/ I Have a Love – West Side Story
Nowadays – Chicago
I Still Believe – Miss Saigon (this is beautiful!)
In His Eyes – Jekyll & Hyde

There's stuff from 'Wicked', too of course!.

Good luck - interesting question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You could sing "If Momma Was Married" from Gypsy, or "Sisters" from White Christmas, but I think that's supposed to be a guy and a girl, but you could make it work!. You could try "A Very Nice Prince" from Into the Woods, too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"In His Eyes" from the musical Jekyll and Hyde
"For Good" from the musical WickedWww@QuestionHome@Com

some of the Barbie movies have some female/female duets, but I can't think of any of the titles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
