What about them makes you uncomfortable so we know what to look out for.

No one wants to see a musical called Thoroughly Modern Mildred.

Yeah, are you positive you're a baritone?

Do you need an uptempo or a ballad?

It sounds to me like your problem is a limited range. Look into roles that have been played by non-singers, and you'll find plenty of songs they sing.

Since at least 75% of male musical theatre songs are written for baritones, what's the problem?

Start with any song sung by the male lead character in:

OKLAHOMA, CAROUSEL, SOUTH PACIFIC, KISS ME KATE, KISMET, THE MUSIC MAN, MAN OF LA MANCHA, CAMELOT, GUYS AND DOLLS, BELLS ARE RINGING, WONDERFUL TOWN, CARNIVAL, WHERE'S CHARLEY, FUNNY GIRL, SWEENEY TODD, ANYTHING GOES, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, ETC. ETC. ETC...

Have you tried "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from Les Miserables? I would love to sing that song if my range was larger than low F to the A below middle-C. The worst part about having the limited, low range is that I am only twelve years old until the fourteenth of this month.

Try musicaltheatreaudition.com and click on songs. It's GREAT, except that they're usually overdone songs, but it's definitely a start.
