Removed most of the Theatre examples. Many were Zero Context Examples anyway, but there is considerable misuse of this trope to describe any couple in any musical with a duet of any sort.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: Antony and Johanna ("Ah Miss/Kiss Me"), and in a weird sick way, Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett in "My Friends" and "A Little Priest".
Follies: Although, it was more of an introduction to the audience, since the couple knew each other way back when, but it still counts.
In Evita, Eva and Peron do this.
Cosette and Marius in Les Misérables
'You and I' from Chess fits this trope
Oklahoma! Hoo Boy. Just about every song.
In The King And I, Anna and the King, natch.
In Hello Dolly, Cornelius and Irene
In Shrek the Musical, Fiona and Shrek, during 'I Think I Got You Beat'.
Stephen Sondheim's Pacific Overtures does this with Kayama and Manjiro in the song "Poems".

So, uh, am I the only one who thinks we should call this "Let's Duet"?

Do you know, that was proposed in ykttw, but I thought it was too broad for the trope. Plus I was going to use the name for a trope about duets in general... we don't have that yet, I should get around to proposing it...

Thanks for the all fish!
