Get Ann Hamptom Callaway and Liz Callaway's CD "Sibling Revelry".

The star item is something they call "The Huge Medley", where they race
through
every famous women's duet in show tune history, starting with Irving
Berlin's "Sisters"
and ending with the Judy/Barbra counterpoint of "Get Happy" and "Happy
Days
Are Here Again".

Here is a link to it on the Barnes & Noble site:

With, in context, one of the stupidest lyrics ever written. Good choice
as a concert piece, though.

Here's another Gilbert & Sullivan list:

From Patience:
"Long Years Ago, Fourteen Maybe" (Patience and Angela - Soprano and
Mezzo) This is a cute little song about another child that Patience
played with when she was four years old. Because the other child was
male, Angela can't resist the thought that he represents Patience's first
love.

From Princess Ida
"Now, wouldn't you like to rule the roost?" (Melissa and Blanche -
Soprano and Alto) Blanch wants to run the Princess's all-woman univeristy
herself and she sees an opening, goaded on by her daughter Melissa.

From The Gondoliers
"Now Marco dear..." (Tessa and Gianetta - Soprano and Alto
[sometimes Mezzo]. They are singing to their husbands who enter at the
end, but their vocal parts could be dropped without too much problem. Of
course, the two ladies only sing together at the very end so there isn't
much mixing of voices.

Of course, if you add an extra woman, you can do the well known "Three
Litle Maids From School" from The Mikado. Also, from the same show, "So
Please You Sir, We Much Regret" which was used during the opening credits
of "Topsy Turvy"

"Single Man Drought" from I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change...sort of
belty, but it's nice.

and the music turned to swing
and the tall handsome wonderful person
spun me around
and we made beautiful music
with our laughter
