"Incandescent" found this list and posted it to Answers a few months ago:
A Fellow Needs a Girl," from Allegro (baritone/soprano, romantic, older couple, charm duet)
"Lessons On Life," from The Amorous Flea (Comic situation duet for baritone/mezzo with stylized period movement a la Moliere, character contrast and imitation add to the humor)
"With So Little to Be Sure Of," from Anyone Can Whistle (Mezzo/Baritone duet, poignant, romantic, farewell, love duet)
"Words, Words, Words" from Bajour (clever M/F duet with emphasis on lyrics-good for showcase)
"Won’t You Charleston with Me?," from The Boyfriend (period movement oriented Mezzo/Baritone duet, nice scene before to develop character and game playing)
**"This Can’t Be Love," from The Boys from Syracuse (Nightclub standard, Soprano/Baritone Duet, this is a terrific song)
"Heather on the Hill," from Brigadoon (romantic duet, up-tempo, movement a help)
*"Almost Like Being in Love," from Brigadoon (romantic duet, up tempo, relationship oriented)
"What Do the Simple Folk Do," from Camelot (difficult duet, emphasis on transitions and mood changes, good for class study)
"C’est Magnifique," from Can-Can (Low Mezzo/High Baritone duet)
"Terrace Duet," from Chess (Mezzo/Baritone duet. Two people are adversaries yet are attracted to each other.)
"You and I," from Chess (Baritone/Mezzo Duet, two lovers part knowing they will remember everything about the other but knowing they could not have done anything differently)
*"The Tennis Song," from City of Angels (Baritone/Mezzo duet full of double meanings, good class study for the focus is on the relationship and "topping" and "scoring one’s wins", hilarious but bawdy, not good for younger than high school production)
"Embraceable You," from Crazy for You (slow ballad, good for nightclubs or any kind of revue)
"Choo Choo Honeymoon," from Dames at Sea (Baritone/Mezzo period duet-similar in style to "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," tap duet)
*"No Matter What" from Beauty and the Beast
"Ambition," from Do Re Mi (up-tempo, energetic, baritone and soprano, exciting, good for showcase)
**"I’d Be Surprisingly Good for You," from Evita (Mezzo/Baritone, interaction and reaction are the strong points in this duet between Peron and Eva; I LOVE this song!)
"Something Sort of Grandish," from Finian's Rainbow (baritone/mezzo, charming, up tempo)
*"Don't Marry Me" from Flower Drum Song
"It’s the Going Home Together," from The Golden Apple (Romantic duet for a Baritone/Soprano)
"I Still Get Jealous," from High Button Shoes (Baritone/Soprano Duet, middle-aged character number, charm duet)
"Good Night," from I Do! I Do! (Mezzo/Baritone comic, reaction oriented, good for showcase, audience pleaser, nearly actor-proof.)
**"It Takes Two," from Into the Woods (Ballad M/F Duet that requires loving interaction and strong characterization and understanding of the lyrics and prior situation and relationship, growth song)
"Shall We Dance?," from The King and I (Baritone/Mezzo, charm scene/song, dance number, good for revue or class study)
"Colorado Love Call," from Little Mary Sunshine (Soprano/Baritone, heavily stylized spoof of Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy movies, overdone, good for revue or period study)
"You Can Dance with Any Girl At All," from No, No, Nanette (Mezzo/Baritone Duet, good example of stylized Astaire/Rogers musical theatre number.)
"Who Cares," from Of Thee I Sing (Baritone/Soprano, carefree, movement oriented duet)
"People Will Say We’re In Love," from Oklahoma (Soprano/Baritone Duet, charm, romantic, good first romantic song for hesitant performers, emphasis is on the "game" and the relationship)
"I Get Carried Away," from On the Town (Baritone/Mezzo comic duet)
"You're Not Foolin' Me," from 110 in the Shade (dramatic scene to Baritone/Soprano duet, good for relationship, tension, sub-text, song deals with two people who are attracted and terrified of each other)
**"I Could Write a Book," from Pal Joey (Romantic duet, lovely melody, charm song)
"You Are My Home," from The Scarlet Pimpernel (Baritone/Mezzo Duet with a pop/rock feel)
"Only Make Believe," from Show Boat (Soprano/Baritone, romantic, charm duet, where lovers never touch)
"Wet," from Steel Pier (Baritone/Mezzo Duet, light, good for working on behavior and spontaneity, two soon-to-be lovers playfully tease each other)
"First You Dream" from Steel Pier (Baritone/Mezzo Duet, romantic, a young dreamer urges the woman he loves to imagine a better world)
"A Little Priest," from Sweeney Todd (diction, character relationship and interaction highlight this Mezzo/Baritone Duet)
"Make a Miracle," from Where's Charley? (Baritone/Soprano, up-tempo, duet between Charley and Amy about the future inventions, Charley wants to talk about their future but Amy is more enthralled with future technology. Unusual lyric about love, with definite actables)
"Goodbye, Canavaro," from Zorba (Mezzo/Baritone, nice scene to duet character oriented, charm number, character study in class situation)
Make sure to give "Incandescent" some points--I'm just borrowing his material!
