I just got cast in a Broadway concert, I get to pick my own songs. I'm a mezzo soprano belter. I'm looking for upbeat songs and ballads. Any suggestions, out there? Thanks all!

When I Look at You - The Scarlet Pimpernel
Stars and the Moon - Songs for a New World

If you have stamina to spare, I would suggest The Story Goes On from Baby or Meadowlark from The Baker's Wife, but I've seen way too many struggle through the second half of each.

Storybook - The Scarlet Pimpernel
Gold - Camille Claudel
This Time Around - Havana! / Linda Eder single
(All Frank Wildhorn)
A Change in Me - Beauty and the Beast


You could also take a look at Linda Eder's Broadway, My Way songbook... There are some arrangements of normally male songs (Such as "Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha).
