Posted: 2/3/08 at 7:21pmI am creating a variety show and I am trying to come up with a lot of adult and child duets. So far I have some from Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Come someone help me think of more?

The King and I - Getting to Know You (you can make it into a duet)
Billy Elliot - The Letter
and I'm not sure if Caroline, or Change/The Secret Garden have a adult/child duet, but I'm sure they do.

Posted: 2/3/08 at 7:44pmThere's a great number from Cole Porter's Panama Hattie called "Let's Be Buddies." It was the hit of the show -- and I'm sure relatively few people know of it today.

"I Don't Need Anything But You" from "Annie"
"I Whistle A Happy Tune" from "The King and I" could be a duet
