Okay well most musical selections are prepared in parts. So there is always a soprano, second soprano, alto, tenor and bass part. Depending on their difficulty level you can have atleast 2 pieces to all of them.

But if you are really cluless, try

"On My Own" Les Miserables
"All That Jazz" Chicago
"When you got it, Flaunt it" The Producers
"Nothing" Chorus Line
"Why Can't you behave?" Kiss Me Kate
"As Long As He Needs Me" Oliver

I have a ton more if you don't like those...

From musicals/operettas:

"When Frederick was a Little Lad" (Pirates of Penzance)
"There are Worse Things I Could Do" (Grease)
"Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" (Grease)
"Schroeder" (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown)
"Little Known Facts" (Charlie Brown)
"I Get a Kick Out of You" (Anything Goes)
"Take Me Back to Manhattan" (Anything Goes)

This is a very limited selection, I know.  You can try this site under "Mezzo-Soprano" if you're looking for something more classical.  If you're a belter, the songs I listed will be better, with the possible exception of "When Frederick was a Little Lad" (I've heard it done both ways).
