Line 52:
* "What You Own" in both the musical and movie versions of ''[[Rent]]''. Mark's in New York, Roger's in Santa Fe, they meet for the final verse on the roof of their apartment building.
* "Lily's Eyes" from ''The Secret Garden''. Brothers who were in love with the same woman.
* "I Wish I Could Go Back to College" and "Fantasies Come True" from ''[[Avenue Q]]'' both do this. The former has three singers, all in different buildings. The latter is a twist on the "love song" variant; the two singers are both singing about having found love, but not with each other. And one of the two people who's found love discovers
* "Summer Nights" from ''[[Grease]]''.
* "Till Then" and "Yours, Yours, Yours" between [[John Adams|John]] and Abigail Adams in ''[[1776]]''.
Line 64:
'''Kirsty''': It's probably something to do with being alone.
'''Mitch''': But I'm standing over here... }}
* "Skid Row" from ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'' has various characters singing one line, before developing into a more conventional Distant Duet with Audrey and Seymour. (Subverted in the movie, where the two of them end up only a couple feet apart from each other on opposite sides of a corner, unware of each other's presence.)
* ''[[Thirteen]]'' has a subversion. Evan and Patrice are standing right next to each other and are giving advice to Brett saying what they wish they would really say to each other
* ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (theatre)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' has a distant trio, with Sweeney in his barbershop, Anthony searching for Johanna, and Johanna in an insane asylum.
* "Christmas Makes Me Cry" from [[Brooklyn]] has Faith in Paris, singing to young Brooklyn, and Taylor in New York, singing to...anyone who'll listen, and both of them thinking of each other.
* "What You Don't Know About Women" in ''[[City of Angels (musical)|City of Angels]]''. Gabby and Oolie are separated not only by a split stage, but by the latter being a fictional character in a [[Film Noir]] written by the former's husband.
* 'I Know Him So Well' from ''[[Chess (theatre)|Chess]]'', although this one depends on the production: in some versions, the two singers are actually singing to each other.
* The finale reprise of ''For Good'' in [[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eoMAgYmNh0 "Friendship Isn't What it Used to Be"] from ''Vanities: The Musical'' was originally a solo sung by Kathy after the other two characters leave the scene, but made a Distant Trio in later productions.
