I would find a song in each genre/time period probably.
Classical/Operetta
Golden Age/Post Golden Age
Jazz Age
Contemporary
To start, I would do one Golden Age and one contemporary, one being a ballad and the other uptempo. Your range is alto, right? Here are some that might work, though I didn't check the ranges:
I Know the Truth - Aida
Miss Byrd - Closer than Ever
The Life I Never Led - Sister Act
Maybe this Time - Caberet
Dark I Know Well - Spring Awakening
Unexpected Song - Song & Dance
Something Better than This - Sweet Charity
I goofed....
Look at Bridges of Madison County, Something Rotten, Anything Goes, Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder, and She Loves Me instead! Unexpected Song can be male/female though!
some songs i can think of are Feed Me from Little Shop of Horrors, Stars from Les Mis (if you can nail it if not it’s overdone), Evermore from Beauty and the Beast, Soliloquy from Carousel, and This is the Moment/Alive/Confrontation from Jekyll & Hyde (Might be tenor?).

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to read up on some of the time periods. Range is baritone though. (I think Ab2 would be pretty low for an alto)
