it's not for anything serious, just for rep. i don't see how i could narrow it down any more.

Look at Penny's stuff in Hairspray, the "Legally Blonde, Remix" from Legally Blonde, and 'Let's hear it for the boy" from Footloose. You may also want to check out Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and The Full Monty, both are David Yazveck shows and he writes some real good and fun stuff.

If you can tap (not that it matters) check out "Go into your Dance" from 42nd Street.

OH, also if you love Sutton Foster, she had a fun # in Young Frankenstein, "Roll in the Hay", i think.

I wouldn't add "Go Into Your Dance" into your repertoire considering it's a group number. But "Someday" from The Wedding Singer is adorable! And I'll suggest "Look What Happened to Mabel" from Mack and Mabel.
